Default Some really good trail cam picks of a big cat

In my area, was asked not to reveal any location but some pretty crazy trail camp pics

Great photos!

Looks big and hefty (well fed). Is that white spot on it's back an old wound (scar)?

Yes it is, I figured it was a scar to, definitely a well fed cat.

Some people actually enjoy the beauty of such a fine animal, not everyone shoots them. Nothing wrong with that

I dont think every animal on the planet has to be killed because someone can buy a tag. I feel the same about bears.

So you are serious....sorry for the snap out of it then...thought that was a tongue in cheek comment...it's ok to feel like that, I've never shot one and have had more than a few opportunities....

I will pay for your tags if you do it barehanded.

If I woke up in a sleeping bag to that view, I would hope that the smell of me instantly defecating would turn it off of the down coated burrito it had just found.

I'd throw in some money and a video camera.

Not against hunting them, but I would pay to see it.

Yup. I most definitely agree...

You old jokster!!! If I had a dollar for every time a PETA empathizer told me that I would be a rich man....didn't think I would ever hear it from a flag flying 15,000 post AO member.

Just sayin....

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm neither a PETA supporter nor a flag flyer. I suppose it could be a reasonable assumption that someone made reference to you 5 times, in which instance you could have $5.00. If that is your definition of rich I guess that would explain you referring to me as a millionaire several years ago. Mind you, if you have $5.00 in your pocket and absolutely no debt, you could be richer than a great deal of people in North America.

Being a member of an outdoorsmen forum doesn't mean necessarily that we all want to kill every fur bearing mammal on the planet.

Each to his own.
