I believe what looks like a tail is actually the back leg extended rearward. You can see white with spots on the inside of the leg. Add the white on the back of it's ears, and you certainly have a bobcat.

And I outlined what I see here:

I don't think anyone here has replied that it IS a mtn lion. You mean we all agree it isn't??????

I don't believe I said it was.

Scott,I saw a "big" cat cross Rt. 118 about 15 years ago on my way to work about 5:00am! I never told anyone,they would of thoughtI had "one too many"...

source of the pics....a fishing site....curious to as where you got these pics barnes...weve both been on this board along time...i know you wouldnt post something to start a fire....but maybe your friend got them in an email or someone else said they were from PA.....or maybe he hosts his pics there...just curious..thats where the pics are posted..

Just caught this sonofagun drinking from my bathwater!

After looking at Livbucks retouched photo outlining the rear leg and tail, I now agree that it is a bobcat in both photos.

The tree means nothing. It's impossible to tell the size of that tree just as it's impossible to tell where the cat is in relation to the tree and the camera. I guess it's true when they say that some people will see exactly what they want to see.

Mauser06 - I got the pictures from a neighbor up there. They took the picture on August 12th. It is along the road at the beginning of a gravel driveway. The reason it is on a fishing website is because that is where I host all my pictures for internet downloading. Go into member galleries and search under Aquasport190 and you'll see all of my pictures.

The tree in question is a very big blue spruce.
