wasn't expecting to see this when we checked his camera
That is neat. Do you have a size comparison to match the photo too?
Cougar they found one on trail cam in IL last week
Woof! And a fat one, too. Who's he been eating?
Look for prints if possible. It looks like a big wildcat to me!
Cool pic's.....been quite a few cat pic's in the Midwest area lately.
Either a cougar of Garfield.
kyrat,that is the only picture we got of him,where he is located is 20' from the feeder closest to the camera,and he is heading down a slight hill,there have been several sightings in our area,and the DNR investigates,but so far have not agreed that they are here.Quote:

ANd I think it may be prudent to now carry full time when I'm outside?
nell,
Why not put something of a known size where the picture was taken the next time you are there. Put it as close to the spot where the cat was in the photo. A domestic cat is going to be closer to a foot tall at the shoulders and a cougar is going to be twice that or more.
They have been in MI for years and the DNR are only now saying they are. That's not a house cat on your cam.
Nell, DNR caught a really nice side shot of one two years ago in your area. It was taken in Greene County.

Greene county is about an hour away from here,I think it is awesome if it is,and we are pretty sure it is,the trouble is we don't want to bait him back there to get more pics,because that is where we feed the deer for the winter,but I am pretty sure he scare off a doe ,the frame before this one had a doe feeding.
That's not much of a distance for territory and 18 months if he's roaming or if there are more than one.
I have heard their territory can cross state lines,the Clark State forest IS my front yard,so kind of surprised it took this long to see him if he has been here a while.
I don't claim any knowledge on these things at all but I think they've always been here even if they have been a minority. And they must keep a pretty low profile. Several years ago in S. Illinois the DNR there said, nope, none around here then someone killed one. Those stories seem to abound in every state. Perhaps it's anecdotal but it seems like they've always been here even if the numbers are very low. The IN DNR should be able to check tracks and size relative to distance from the camera on yours and tell what size cat they have. Not many tabbies that size.
Wait!?!?!?! You feed deer now? I guess it's cheaper than the previous method of getting them on the highway. :whistling:
Aaaaahahahahaaa!!!!:lol::lol::lol:Quote:

You could put a yardstick just ahead of the stick on the left and retake the photo. Looks like a chubby cat whatever it is. Can't tell for sure if it has a dark mark on the tip of the tail or how big the hind paw is, or if those markings on the hind legs are real. Many have seen big cats here. We have wildcats too. I saw what looked like a cross between a wildcat and cougar up close once, but I'm still not sure what I was looking at.
edr730,oh it is real enough,we expected to get pictures of bobcats when he got the camera,not anything that big.considering the feeder in the foreground is a foot tall and the cat is about 20 yards on the other side of it AND heading downhill we know it is a big cat,but I will try to get some other pictures to show the area where he was.
Had a wildlife biologist come out this week and measure the area the cat was standing in the picture,and he is convinced as well that it is a young mountain lion,thinking maybe a young male looking to establish a new territory,also this week a sheriffs deputy was hunting about 6 miles from here,says he watched a mountain lion cross a field for about 100 yards,and when he couldn't see it any longer,he got the heck out of the woods
Cougar me thinks.. Dont want to tangle with one either. My wife told me about her dad's friend getting jumped by one at night, going from the hunting cabin to the outhouse. Damn near killed him, if it wasnt for the sidearm he had at the time. This was years back in Allaghany County, VA. She says, it was perched on the roof of the cabin and ambushed him when he came outside.
Dang putty tat...

Long tail like a mountain lion. Do they go through a stage when they have a spotted coat? I vote Cattymount, too.
I agree.Quote:

Let me tell you. I have seen some B-I-G domestic cats. My granddaughter's older female Calico is barely short of saddling-size, and that humongous Orange Tabby that sometimes graces my backyard with a visit (to the dismay of the birds frequenting our feeders) is another example.
Not saying it isn't something more exotic -- only saying that the lack of a reference point makes it almost impossible to determine.

PS: If it is not a common (though rather large) housecat, the tail and uniform coloring strongly suggest a cougar, a mountain lion, or whatever they're called in your particular neck of the woods.
