From friends trail cam on the lease.......FWIW the rest of the pics indicate the deer got away!




It ain't black....guess we may be doing some night hunting!

Before you ask, this is just S. of Antelope. You Jack County hunters keep your eyes open...

I'm hearing the theme from Jaws. That's a really neat picture.

I personally would see that as good news. I would love to take a mountain lion in Texas. A rare trophy. I'm just not sure how you would go about hunting one without a pack of hounds though. Anyone ever had one come to a predator call?

Yes they have been successful but all that was found was a huge pile of cat scat with a plastic call in it.

You don't think it is a mountain lion with a thyroid weight issue and a deer-like flattened tail? scared

I hunt in antelope right off 187. We've been seeing tracks and have found a couple of kills. How far south of antelope are you? based on the tracks there is a female with a a cub or two.

Looks like a corn fed doe with her head down to me.

I can see where one might think that but.....

Nope! The pic is just one frame of a group, but the others weren't that good cause the break & run starts right there. Actually the first deer has already run and the second one under the feeder is starting to bolt. Kitty is squatted with head down & tail low & back (down off the pic) creeping/stalking through grass that is about 18" to 2 feet tall around a small clump of trees.

He/She/It just happened to creep out "right under & slightly beside" the small tree where the camera is mounted.....We've been seeing tracks and my friend finally put out a camera. I think it's just a medium sized kitty (camera angle & distance is deceiving) putting a stalk on 2 deer.

We're closer to 2190, but that's well within the range of a cat - Females can range 20 to 100 miles!

We had a deer that got shot several years ago that we couldn't find that night. We went back the next day and found it buried and it's front shoulder had been eaten. We were in the neighbors property with no weapons, we backed out very quickly.
