I sure hope so. That there would be a cougar no doubt.

I was in Tejon on one of the management hunts when I came across this...

My first thought was that a hunter was butchering in the field and packing out. After noticing 1. no obvious entry wound, 2. no gut sack in the area, and 3. No other meat taken off the pig, I figured the hunter was four legged and did not use a rifle...

Some people are so wishful!!!

Hunch, no tracks? neck broken?
One year on Tejon all the deer in the area we are glassing start to look back then haul butt out of the area. My buddy and I get ready for the pigs to come in behind them.........nope just one big cat along with 2 little ones following behind her, watched her for about 5 minutes at about 70 yards, when the sun went down in about 20 minutes we were a little on edge walking back to the truck.:skeered: But it was a lot of fun to tease my buddy, he doesn't see too well at night, or run very fast:lol bashing sign:

DM, i am getting older and my eyes could be getting wacky but when i first looked at the picture the head and face reminded me more of a bobcat with a whisker look to it then cougar or mountian lion head look and i could not notice the tail to tell, but its your photo you would know better then me, i see bobcats almost every week on the trails i scout so maybe everything looks like a bobcat to me, even a house cat. have a great day and we will chat soon..................tra

We need to have a season on big cats! It's long over due. I see a big cat just about every other year. Saw big cat tracks at L.S. two weeks ago, it explains why the deer evaporated from the area I had been hunting, but it didn't seen to phase the hogs. Maybe the pigs had roamed in from elsewhere.

Yep, as a significant indictment against the health of the deer herd in my neck of the woods, all of the lion scat is full of hog hair these days. If they keep it up, they will work me out of a job...
