Ocelot, me thinking. Look at the tail, the markings are so close. What a chance for that.

This is amazing, it it's truly an Ocelot. There are only 100 or so known in South Texas,in 2 populations.

Man that looks a lot like an Ocelot I am about 99% sure it is. Before I shot that I would have someone that knows look at pics. The longer rail, oblong spots and white patches on the back of the ears. If it is that is a rare sighting and the state would probably want to know the area it is in.

A little quick research says the bobcat has a short tail, and an ocelot has rounded ears, could this be a mix??

US fish & Wildlife website says there are less than 50 in the US so prolly not legal to shoot. Lease is West of Lampasas and 4 miles East of the Colorado. All reported Ocelots are in the Lower Rio Grande.
