Got this Sucker from the Trail Cam on our hunting property in Rutherford County.

Hard to tell scale-wise but it's certainly of the feline category.
Mountain lion/ cougar?

Waiting for the Game Warden to show it to his big cat guy tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. Sure looks like a mountain lion, but if it's a Bobcat, it's the biggest one I've ever seen!

Man I wish you could see the long mountain lion tail. Almost looks like a small bobtail on a big ol bobcat. The profile sure looks like a mountain lion though.

Looks like bobcat to me, short stubby tail with black tip, can't compare size though, fierce beautiful critters none the less

Definitely a bobcat. It's been eating well.

I would be more concerned with what's behind the cat.

I'd say it's a bobcat, due to the short neck and short tail.

Looking forward to seeing what the TWRA says.

The GW didn't call back today, I guess good Friday and all. It's got to be a Bobcat I guess, but man it's healthy!

Big ole' bobcat. Is that a couple off coons in the background? I see 2 pair off eyes.
Thanks for sharing.

It could very well be a cougar ive seen one on center hill 2 summers ago chase a deer out of the woods down towars shore within casting distance of my boat and the cat saw me and turned straight back up the hill, It easily had a 4ft sholder height, it looked to be about the same size of the deer im talking 120lbs+ and it appears they are here to stay and are thriving with all the recent sightings from all over TN
