Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I think there's a decent chance that that's a decently long white tail deer tail popping up at just the moment that picture was snapped. I know I've cut off tails that were every bit of a good 10 inches at least while I was field dressing deer. Is that from your neck of the woods, Pb&j?

ThrillVille Cardinal51 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Mountain lion. I freakin hope not. If I saw a mountain lion in the woods I’d crap my pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add that it was seen "in person" crossing a gravel road the next day. It was big enough that the person who saw it thought of a deer but looking more closely, he said that it was feline.

The white area around the base of the tail is what I noticed. At first look it appears to be a mountain lion, I’d like tp see another random image from same angle.

woodsrider Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It's hard to tell how big it really is in that pick. If there was something there to judge the actual size. Looking at the head area the what appears to be the ear looks to big for a cat. I'd say it could be a deer but tail seems awfully long. If I had to put money on it I'd say it was someones dog.

Wireman Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 That looks like a mountain lion to me and that's not uncommon in Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDeuce Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I'm no expert, but that looks much more like a big cat than a deer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsrider Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Deer don't have long dark tails either. I would argue the tail is too short to be a mountain lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsrider Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The more I look at this and compare it to pics of deer and mountain lions, the more convinced I am this is someones dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
