Cougar or bobcat?

Post by Freezer »

I didn't think bobcat got this big. I moved my shed and camera and this turned up. Alot of folks say there's no cougar in Western Pa but, a friend of my wife clearly had one on her trail cam. Now, I have this. Though I'm not convinced it's a cougar, that sucker sure looks big! I've enlarged the pics a few times but I can't decide.

What say ye?

That's what I think but that is the biggest I've ever seen! The deer add perspective. This one doen't show a tail like my wife's friends pic did. Hunting Northern Ca. I had a a few experiences with cougar and I'm not anxious for more.
