How big is he?
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

That appears to be a nice cat. One of the more muscular specimens I have seen in pictures. He must be very well fed. I would say definitely a trophy.

Just a side note I always get pics of myself  in several locations on the trail camera (after final placement) so I can compare size of photographed animals to myself when I return or by simply measuring.

The problem is, he has only come in late at night, or early morning, and with my work and school scheduale, I just can't get up there after him.  He looks like a nice one to me, but I don't know much about cats.

Coo pics.  My next goal harvest a cougar.  Have to set up an electronic caller.   Try to find some sounds that mimic a dead calf.  that probably would bring him right in.

Should be pretty easy....a "Dead Calf" makes no sounds at all!!! LOL

i am sure this question has been asked, but is it legal to hunt cougars at night, it would be sweet if it is, i know it use to be, and i believe you can still hunt bobcat, coon, and coyote at night but not sure about big cats, any help would be sweet, thanks
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"

Good looking cat.  I thought the track looked smaller than what the cat actually was.  Thanks.  :tup:
