Cougar? Or just a weird smudge
« on: March 23, 2025, 09:58:23 PM »
Had a trail camera up in capitol forest last year and got what I believe is a cougar. First pic is what I think to be the lion, followed by a blank photo, and then one with a doe for reference. Anyone with lion experience think otherwise?
