|
|
Does anyone have an idea what type of cat made these foot prints? I set the can there for size comparisons. There were two different size sets of foot prints, like a mom and small cat walking together. The prints went several hundred yards along Spring Creek north of Houston. Are they big enough to be a cougar?  |

| Could be. I have seen mountain lions at our little property in Popalote, 45 minutes from Corpus and outside George West. They're around but they're very good at hiding from humans. |

Too small for a mama cougar old enough to have a baby.
I would bet good money on a solid bobcat. They can be surprisingly big. _________________ Why is it that these days sales people seem to be as honest as I am knowledgeable? |

X2 Prof. Salt. I live in George West and I have seen some sort of big cat out here on my land. Bigger than a bobcat for sure, but I could not define the exact species since it was quite a ways away. I had to make a double take to make sure I wasn't seeing things lol  _________________ Drive it like you stole it! |

| I want to say a full grown momma bobcat but who knows. Where were you though? I have spent many a spring day chasing white bass in spring creek. Still live very close to it and am very familiar with the area. |

Not at the main entrance, but at the bow shooting target practice area section of the park down the road from Carters Country. I have seen people riding horses in this area. I was fishing for white bass myself that day.  |
