Concidering the deer tracks next to it in the other photo I would assume it to be in the 80-100 pound range.

A cougar is the last thing I want pics of on my cams  :chuckle:

But if that's what you want... good luck!

because that means he's there eating your deer.

Yep by the time you get around to cougar season he should have only eaten approx 15-20 deer in your area, that is a good tradeoff. Circle of life.

:chuckle:

Of course by the time hunting season rolls around the cougar that has eaten most of the deer will have gotten eaten by a pack of wolves , so now where does the circle of life end? Thats right , its a circle , it doesnt end.  :chuckle:
