OK, I grew up in Northern Wyoming and Colorado/Utah so I have been lucky enough to have seen what a TRULY big cat is. Not one of those puny little kitty's that leaves a track that you can cover with your hand.
A track 5 1/2" across is really only a mid sized cat at best and anything smaller is either starving, young or simply a smaller species of cat. If you can cover the track with your hand, it ain't big.
I still do not have all the particulars about this game cam picture. It does not appear to be photoshopped or altered.
Anyways, someone missed out on a great buck but maybe they will luck out and get the cat before the cat gets them.
