Re: Cat in CNY?!?!?

I:)skiing
I guess it could be.   I have not seen the rock that the cat is in front of.  The homeowner says he measured the rock at 4 feet, that would make it 18" or more tall.    Given that and what I estimate the cat to be 2'-0 behind the rock, I really dont see it as a fisher cat.     The end of the tail is more rounded and thick as well. The tail of the animal in photo appears to wind, as opposed to going down and away.   The hind legs appear to be taller, than smaller.     Can't tell looking at the head, but the body of the cat seems to be quit solid.  

Not a hunter, dont play one on TV, never saw a fisher cat  or panther in the wild (did see them in zoo) so I really don't know.  The scale of the photo is what I am looking mainly at.     Looks bigger than smaller.    

They are looking for prints and hair now.

I have a somewhat hostile new neighbor (Every-time I see the guy he's kind of a prick) with whom I share a property boundary. He uses his property as a hunting camp and it has an extensive series of trails and old logging roads, including an abandoned town road. Traditionally community members have used these for hiking, running, skiing, and snowmobiling (Previous landowners had a contract with one the local clubs  for use of the trails for winter riding). Anyway, the new owner has gotten all possessive and has put up game cameras all over the place and has gotten a little pissy with trespassers. He confronted me one time about it and I explained about the previous uses and how I have my adjoining property under the same sort of land-use-plan. He was grumbly but seemed to let the issue go.
Other's I've talked to have had less than cordial run-ins with the same guy. Curiously, the SIM cards have been coming up missing from his cameras. Huh.

These 2 bozos were too stupid for that. After they figured out they were on candid camera, the next picture the dude had his coat pulled over his head  high tailing it

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Tuesday proposed removing the eastern cougar from the endangered species list, declaring that the cougars have likely been extinct for at least 70 years.

Recent sightings of cougars in the Northeast are believed to be migrating western mountain lions, Florida panthers or captive animals that were released into the wild, wildlife biologists said.

It really doesn't matter if it is a mountain lion, panther, escaped tiger or extinct cougar, they are all big cats that will eat you.

Good article, explains a lot.

If there were truly cats around we would eventually see one dead along the side of the road. My buddy has always said that, and I'm thinking he's 100% correct.

File that under Redneck Wildlife Management, but I think there is an element of truth. OTOH, they found that cat a couple years ago dead by the side of the road in Connecticut, but that was a transient. So you see a road kill kitty, confirming they're around...but it ain't from around here.

So the eastern Cougars are extinct. Did anybody tell the Cougars that?

Cougars are not extinct, that's why they're cougars. Oh wait, you meant the big cats...
Sorry...
