Cool!!!! Like biglakebass said, that is a stout cat.
The wife took some pics of our backyard cat a yr or so ago. She also got a cool video of some bucks chasing a doe. She gets to see all the cool stuff.

Pretty cool but I would figure out when you can legally trap or shoot him. That would be a nice pelt to have tanned. I would think that he would harass the deer.

My wife heard the cat west of the house for awhile, then some deer showed up in the plot west of the house....then the cat strolled the yard and the deer disappeared. The deer were back in a few minutes once the cat moved on to the east. I agree, it would be one heck of a nice pelt to get tanned. I don't think I want to learn how to trap them right now, but going out with the rifle and a mouse squeaker may be in my future. |

Very cool!
My parent's neighbor shot one in their yard and got a nice full body mount done. But they can't put it out in the house because the house cat freaks out at it!

I had not clue what I was doing a scored with a simple bucket set. |

Yeah no bigger than 220. I like a leg trap especially around other houses in case a stupid dog gets nosy.
