    Not quite sure but it looks like a cat of some sort (top pic). The bottom is obviously a bear but the top pic has a head that looks like a cat. Bobcat? Cougar?

    What do you guys think it is?

    I’m going with bobcat. Can’t see the tail and the ears are not in a great position either, but just off the cuff, bobcat. The cat doesn’t appear to be tall enough to be cougar, based on the surrounding brush and weeds. Cougar have massive feet and this cat doesn’t show them.

    It’s probably a bobcat. It’s so difficult to tell with night pictures because the flash seems to me to alter and flatten coloration, so while the markings don’t appear to be right, the size does.

    A cougar is always possible, but I would think even this year’s would be bigger than that.

    Nope. Not low enough to the ground. Critter is right though.

    Hard to tell, as said not big enough for a cougar and with the flash you cannot see any Bobcat markings. Head appears too small and not furry enough for a bobcat either.

    I agree with BK large house cat.

    In the area you point your camera you should have a vertical ruler like they have at the 7-11.
