RE: What is this animal? Game cam pic
In all seriousness, my family owns a camp in Tioga Co.a bitwest of Wellsboro. Between my father and his best friend they spend 120-140 days in the woods per year. This past year they were seeing some pretty large cat tracks that they were hesitant to categorize until a nearby farmer killed1 of 2Mt. Lion asthey attacked his chicken coupe, for the last time, I might add. He called the wardens, he had a collar, they denied it was there. He called again, they denied it again. The long and the short ofthis storyis the collar got buried with the cat. I am not sure how far this is from this "cam", but our camp is not far from the PA state grand canyon.
All seriousness aside, I think its Lockness.
My opinion,,,, its definately a cat, depth perception from a picture is bad, need more pics.
Boy do I got buck fever, lets focus on them, cat probably tastes gamey anyway, plus I can get that at the local Mark Pi's!!!!!!!
Good, safe hunting this season boys.

My opinion is that it is a bobcat. Tails on cougars are much longer and perspective wouldn't account for a tail looking that short. That's just the view of one guy with a degree in Biology who's seen both.

Agreed MQ1, there is no doubt in my mind and I agree 100% with Matt/PA, that is a bobcat, a nice Tom but a bobcat none the less....I seen em every archery season.
