There have been sighting (two in the last 10 years, large cat tracks seen, usually every other year, with smaller tracks with it, (not bob cat unless it has feet measured in the mud of lat least 5" by 5") took pictures with ruler, but can not find picturs. I have not personally seen this laarge cat. Hunter who saw it said it was beige in color, had a large thick tail, over all length with tail was approx 10 feet. ANWAY, I was hunting from a latter stand watching a corn feeder. There was something moving from my right that at first thought might be a bob cat. IT moved directly in from on me and the feeder. It was beige in color, (It must have been a juvenile because it was slipping up on a squirrel and was doing a lousy job.) It starting running after the squirrel way too soon, should have gotten closer.THIS ANIMIAL, (CAT) WAS NOT A BOB CAT, WAS BEIGHE IN COLOR, HAD A HEAD LIKE A MOUNTAIN LION, WHEN IT WAS FACING AWAY FROM ME, THE BACK OF ITS EARS WERE WHITE, AND THE BACK OF THE BOTTON PART OF ITS REAR LEGS WERE BLACK) THIS CAT WAS APPROX 18' LONG WITH A SHORTER TAIL, THE TAIL WAS ONLY ABOUT HALF AS LONG AS ITS BODY.(SORRY ABOUT MY SPELLING) DO YOU THINK THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A YOUNG MOUNTAIN LION?
