Showed this to a bunch of my non-hunting school friends. Only 3/60 people found it and named it.
Should be a piece of cake for you guys!

My guess is a cougar. That is all that I could make out in the photo.

All I see is a Cougar crouching in the grass.

I think it would be interesting if everyone could comment on what they saw and where in the photo they saw it.
But how would we do that without giving away what is actually there?

You may have to zoom in to see it. It is really hard to see without zooming in a bit. Under the branch that is laying horizontally.

Solution
Here's the answer. Cue the jokes...
We just parked the truck and made a pot of tea turned around and it popped out on the road at about 300 yards. Watched it for a bit and then blinked and it disappeared. My buddy then somehow spotted him hidden in the ditch but this was now at about 80 yards. Closest it came was about 35 yards. Very stealthy. Then we bailed!
Near the Crescent point plant road in 349.
Looks to be a pretty young one, or a starving one. Only second one I've seen. the other one was easily weighed 3x more.

On my phone it looks like two animals.
Doe in the upper left and I think a coyote? on the right.

I don't think I would have spotted it if I hadn't been told there was something there.
Pretty cool experience. I've never seen one, don't want to either, unless it's several hundred miles from here and I'm in a fast moving vehicle.
Nothing in the bush scares me more then a charging Grizzly and reports of cougar in the area.
Don't know what I'd do if I actually saw one. I'm pretty sure it would involve a change of underwear.

It's a lot easier to see on a 23 inch monitor... I spotted the cougar in under 3 seconds.
Some of us have an unfair advantage, over trying to see it on a phone or even a tablet.
 Next !

LOL there is no way I could have spotted it on a phone or tablet.
I have a 26 inch monitor and even with that I had to blow it up to max to be sure there was something there.
