i dont know about you but i would be taking a gun with me to retrieve my camera and go somwhere else lol. def not a deer, the leg is too muscluar and goes too far up on the body to be a deer. and the fur is too think and long to be a deer, unless hes wearing a bear fur coat.

It's just a dog.

Its a Dog.

I am pretty fooled with this one. The first thing I thought was a big boar hog... but I'm not sure of that. I believe there are bears in southern Missouri and it sure looks like a color phase one but it's tough telling. Were there any tracks??

You are saying there are no bears, but that would be my first guess. Looks like a muscular build in the shoulder area which is set high. The only other thing would be a good size dog. I for one am stumped. Makes for a fun walk in the dark now huh? lol

aruff arf arf. (DOG)

No doubt a young sasquatch. They are not bad eating. Can be a little gamey if not properly cared for. Hope you get him.
