Post by: Rainier10 on July 26, 2018, 12:22:23 PM: So I am not a cat guy but I am thinking that looks like a young cat to me. Maybe just left it's mother recently and is trying to figure this world out. With decreased hunting pressure and a shrinking habitat(humans encroaching) I think you will continue to see more of this.

@bearpaw is the go to cat guy in my mind, what do you think of this cat?

Post by: bearpaw on July 26, 2018, 02:06:13 PM: Looks like a mature female to me, probably not real old, but that can surprise a guy too. Looking at a photo isn't the same as seeing in the flesh either. If it's unafraid hopefully someone notches a tag this fall.

Yeah my first thought was 2 to 3 year old female. Sounds like this cat is around that area quite often so I hope someone fills there tag this season. I lived down the road from there for 17 years and we constantly saw cat sign. Lotta bears too
