Another What is it?
« on: June 16, 2010, 09:34:44 PM »
I pulled my camera from by bear honey hole and moved it closer to home. It is still an hour walk behind a closed gate. I'm on the fence to what this is, a small bear or big cougar? It's the only pic I got of it so we may never know.

not a deer. prob a dog or a black cougar. Its tough to say. I would have to agree with the hair being to short for a bear.

It's probably 6-7 miles from the nearest house so I ruled out dog, but you never know. :dunno:

The shoulder muscles make me think coug, but it seems too dark.  :dunno:

If you stand in the same spot and get a photo of yourself, you can get an idea of how tall that shoulder is.  I would say cougar or deer depending on the height.

I don't know what it is but it sure doesn't look like a deer to me. I think it's a bear.

Looks just like a deer's back to me, that was my first thought and after studying it for a while my same conclusion. I don't see the dark people are describing and deer have pretty muscular backs. I say deer. Mike

I think deer or lion, it's got the right color...that shoulder blade and muscling make me think lion...maybe it's just wishful thinking!  :)

Deer, leaned forward head down, exaggerating the shoulders.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Bigfoot..
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Now that I've heard all the different opinions, I onboard with it being a deer with hunched shoulders.
