My nephew has a cabin in western Md and it's on the edge of a big clearing... He was in his cabin and looked out the window and sen a big cat in the clearing... I told him it was prob a bob cat... He said it was as big as a deer and had a long tail... Then a couple weeks later while driving down the road he said he seen it again about 1/2 mile from the last sighting... Sounds like some kind of mountain lion
