Haven't seen THO on the boards for a while after our "dust-up" on the infamous "Monkey Thread"..... but I seriously doubt it's him hanging out in this tree in South Texas!

Ok, on a serious note..... what the heck IS this? Monkey.... Porcupine..... WT Doe behind the limb??? Whatever it is, sure look like it was moving pretty quick judging by the dust it kicked up! lol

I blew it up as much as I could. It looks like a mt. lion dragging a small deer up the tree.

I blew it up too, but I could squeeze THAT out of it.

When you blow it up, you can see the lions tail clearly and the left rear leg of it is forward up the tree limb. The two things that look like legs angling down, the lowest one is a tree limb. The next one up might be the lions right rear leg. But it is definately a mt. lion going up the tree with his back facing the camera.
I had originaly thought he might be dragging a small deer or something up the tree. But after looking at it on my wifes bigger 23" screen, I can see what I thought was a leg hanging down is a tree limb.
Next time you're out there FOs take a picture of the tree from the same angle and we can compare the pictures.

Might be a coatimundi. Lions are not known to drag their prey up into a tree.

Jaguarundi perhaps?

I keep looking at the pic and been wondering why Fos didn't get closer to get a real good pic of what is in the tree

Jim I am almost sure it isn't me

But hey I have done things I don't remember so this could be one of those

It's not my picture. It was posted on another board, and we've all been discussing what it could be.

Apparently the picture was taken by a trail cam. Why the guy would have a trail camera that far away from his feeder.... ???

I don't know but it done ate the 3rd leg off that feeder.

FinsnFur · September 08, 2010, 08:30:45 PM

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there's something fishy going on here

FOsteology · September 08, 2010, 08:34:32 PM

One of the feeder legs is braced against a tree limb. Another one of those wtf....
