It's looking at one of my trap sets. I think the ear is too big for a Mt. Lion.  ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/01/full-63244-442668-wgi_0009_1.jpg)

A pic with something for reference would be helpful.
My inclination is to say this is a bobcat. But if you show a deer and it's not much bigger than that, then it is clearly a lion.
But I would say bobcat from this one pic

Looks like a cat. Looks more like a bobcat than anything else, but I couldn’t say for sure.

My best guess it's a bobcat! I may have missed it, but I'd like to know the area or where the picture was taken. Is this an area that has cougars?
Distance is not the issue, but the winds can make it interesting!

Sorry, that is not a long tail cat. Yes it is. It’s the short-tailed subspecies of long-tailed cat.

I'm surprised Joe Exotic hasn't chimed in. He should know it's mitochondrial DNA just from the pic

I don't see the characteristic ear marks of a bobcat.

Bobcat, when you blow up the pic there is no long tail, that is a shadow or something.
