Looks to me like more of a dog shape than a cat. I say red fox, I have seen plenty of them with the dark feet like that..Henry

I copied it to my computer, and tried to clean the image up alittle. It has no tail but looks like a german shepard (colour ,shape and ears).
I would have said bobcat before that?
Title: Re: Whats this??
Post by: kennym on February 12, 2012, 08:36:00 PM
Yeah, I tried to sharpen it and fix it a little too, but its a long way from the cam and at nite to boot!!

Any possibility of gray fox, I've never seen one close to know much about em. We have reds and coyotes here mostly.
Title: Re: Whats this??
Post by: T.P. on February 12, 2012, 08:49:00 PM
I would say Bobcat.  I've had several of them I had to zoom up on the camera to make out.
Title: Re: Whats this??
Post by: Troy Breeding on February 12, 2012, 08:58:00 PM
I'd say bobcat. The second pic pretty much comfirms it for me. Notice the darker strip down the back as it looks to be climbing the tree.

Bobcat. I zoomed in on it and its much easier to tell

Post by: Knawbone on February 12, 2012, 09:25:00 PM
Eyes arn't right for a bobcat, I say grey fox or fisher with it's tail tucked around behind it's body.What is the dim. of the tree it's next to? Knowing that would help to gauge it's size.

Now tat I'v looked at it some more I say it's a grey fox the way it's holding it's head.Grey fox also sharpen there claws and climb quite well.

if it was a fox(red or grey) the front legs would be darker than the body, so .....its a cat.

Bobcat. This time of year gray fox tails are hard to hide.  My firt guess was a gray until I zoomed in on the pics.

Slumped butt with pointed ears and a black tip tail, I say fox.Legs look to long for a Bobcat.

I hope this isn't jumping on your thread, but here is a bobcat I caught on cam. The ears on your critter look a bit fox like to me.

Kenny,
I believe it is a fox.  The dark feet and head make me think so.  We have lots of grey fox.  I have caught several on camera hunting mice and rats eating my corn.  I know you don't have out corn but it probably is hunting rodents around the old mineral block area.

Where is this camera set up?  Is it were I missed the doe?   :banghead:

Post by: lt-m-grow on February 13, 2012, 03:17:00 PM
I am surprise no one said this...I thought house cat right away.  Looked again several times, still think that - tail or no tail.  Not a stretch for a cat to have lost its tail.

I don't think it is a bobcat.  Shaped didn't seem right.

Thanks for letting me play :-)

After looking hard at the ear and head profile of both the grey fox and the bobcat, I was temped to lean toward the fox. The issue is that it has a fairly thick body and appears to have a docked/short tail. Overall, I think the majority of body characteristics points to a bobcat.
Title: Re: Whats this??
Post by: kennym on February 13, 2012, 06:35:00 PM
I'm still thinkin bobcat, I have only seen one possible gray fox, wasn't sure, no binos that day and it was thru brush. It coulda been a bob too.

No housecat, way too big, it is probably 50-60 feet from the camera.

Post by: kennym on February 13, 2012, 06:36:00 PM
Better edit til I get back over there, not sure that camera will trigger at 50'  :biglaugh:
