it's normally kind of rolled back it's more evident on the few sheep carcasses I,ve seen, the deer are always just a head and shoulders left and the legs scattered around, just think how much shit I get if you got rubbished for saying you saw one once, don't worry about it I know what I saw and I,m on a mission to prove it, if your really honest with yourself you know what you saw, but it just seems to mental for your brain to accept what your eyes told it, I get the piss taken out of me constantly, but that just pushes me on, and from being like yourself I am now 100 percent that I will achie

in country,s were we know they excist they are bloody hard to find in Rajasthan they have just got a drone with thermal imaging camera on to count the native population of cats as its impossible to find them, I have been to rajasthan a few times,its not impossible to find them if you really want to see a leopard in rajasthan there are several companies that will take you out and you have a high percentage of chance seeing one,thats why the companies have sprung up,its a desert state,mainly scrub in the areas I went,the companies tend to concentrate their sightings near rocky areas where the l

it's a bit of a tall order to confirm from a pair of legs, but at this time of year the grass around often tells a bit of a tale, if you look on the bones you may be able to see small sets of three holes set out like the pins on a plug in a triangle, these are tooth pits and are as good as DNA because if you have a jaw or toothe from a cat it plugs into the three holes, the same teeth also leave a W shaped cut on the end of any bone that's been cut right through like the ribs which normally seem to be eaten close to the spine to open up the chest cavity, look for the tooth pits if it's still

the funny thing is Cush the area you spend a lot of your time in is one of the richest area,s in the country, I get reports from Gloucester to Somerset from various people and have even had a guy confess to releasing a few in the area back in the early 80s, the thing people don't really get is that even in country,s were we know they excist they are bloody hard to find in Rajasthan they have just got a drone with thermal imaging camera on to count the native population of cats as its impossible to find them, I think withing a few years we will have something like that to use and the mystery w

I wonder myself if one cat would consume all of it in one sitting or is it an adult and young together, like I said with the fox,s and badgers, I found a really fresh carcass in a field that had a wood on one side with loads of badgers in and a fox earth with two adult Cubs in on the other side, but it took two weeks before they would go near the deer, also the one I put up a few pages back was shot and that was all done by the time the shooter returned 6 hrs later, if the carcasses are inspected by people that know what they are looking for its also possible to find the teeth marks in the bon

are the photos taken near a building ,they look like wheelie bins in the backgroundNot my phots mate. I think that that (the cat ones at least) were photos taken of a paused video image on the guys laptop. The 'bins' maybe reflections on the screen. Not ideal obviously, and I'll confess that I asked him to do it as there was a bit of a clamour on here to get to see the thing, and the lads not the most technically minded.., it is what it is. For most on here it hasn't really added anything but fair play to Greyman for sticking them up anyway knowing that plenty would be waiting to shoot him d

Sorry to put a damper on things but I have just had a bit of a reality check and thought I,d share it, a mate of mine that I have known for over thirty years, his wife ran off years ago and cleaned him out, he brought up two kids on his own until they have flown the nest then he met a nice Scottish girl and moved across the country to be with her they were due to sign for a new house today, but he phoned me last night in tatters and told me he was in hospital with pancreatic cancer only had a belly ache last week and now looks like he won't be coming home again and if he does it will just be t

nice one for that thanks

good shout, see you soon

I would,nt know how to , the picture is on an sd card in the laptop and I'm taking a picture on my iPad of the screen the last picture of the three is in roughly the same spot as the fox a lot is being lost by freezing the frames I,m sorry but that's the best I can do at the moment
-
I know they will mate but taking a picture of a picture on another device is hard if you saw the original film it's much clearear I,ve tried that's all I can do it is up to folk to decide for themselves

Ok then lads here you go but remember this is a photo of a video playing on an old laptop and when it's moving it's very much a feline

If i took a picture just of my ol chap it would look quite big.......but if i put a box of matches in the same picture We can all find another device to fall back on How can you tell that a cat is big with nothing to scale it to. When I say scale I mean it wasn't sat next to a milk crate or anything ... there was foliage and such like in the background but then how tall is the said foliage ... who the fukc knows ... however I'd like to think I know the difference between the size and movement of a moggy compared with something substantially bigger ...... alright mate just sorting thr

because that is a photo of my laptop screen, the laptop is not connected to the Internet it's an old one, and finally as i have said I don't want to yet DOGMAN I have zoomed right in to remove the very large blatant landmark in the background and highlight the fence links for socks, shall we not just leave the constant trying to prove I,m lying part of the thread behind now, plus there are many people in my area that would or could know were it is,, loose lips sink ships, I want to leave the area undesturbed so I can sneak back in earlier next year and have cameras waiting for there arrival it

Sorry I,ve been away from my tablet and sorry if people were glad to see the end of it and I,ve brought it back, but I have just been and moved one of my cameras, just gone through 172 pictures on the sd card and had only about ten usable shots,of deer and badgers, this is the type of area I,m hunting in, I have just walked across the large expanse of flat land then climbed a steep gorge to the top, this kind of vantage point allows you to sit and watch all the deer movement in the valley below also were the sheep are and is hit by the morning sun plus it's on private property so sees very fe

I,ve always fished in remote places and have had farmers and land owners warn me to be carefull as they have had either livestock killed or had seen large cats on there land have also always taken note of news paper reports and odd clips on the news so I just accepted they were here, then on a walk with the dogs in an area I have walked for more than thirty years I found a very fresh and almost totally consumed roe Buck that was in sept2015 so I started looking a bit closer then I found a sheep and a fox all killed and eaten by something with a big appetite, then in sept the following I was in

definately lots of footage is now held back and I think with the trail cameras drones and especially thermal imaging becoming more every day the footage will become more and better quality, five years ago trail cameras were quite rare now they are in Aldi also the cameras now on phones are of a good enough quality to produce pictures like the one that started all this, RYALDINHIO i don't have any permission I just follow clues and plot my routes using Google Earth the land I caught the film on is very private but is only used in the summer apart from some kind of caretaker that lives there all

I,m not really keen on clubs and society's etc but some of the people I,m in contact with are, they have had my footage and the emails I showed socks are from people in these society,s, the main problem for these body,s is they have to act within the law to protect there funding and image were as I am a bit of a sneaky quiet mooching type and I sneak in and put my cameras in places they won't go, I have had cameras up in places that would lead to some very embaressing questioning if I were to get ever caught and for NEEMS the main criteria seems to be high wooded ridges with good views over va

believe it or not mate they can breed in any month of the year although there are peaks and troughs they tend to coincide with there prey animals so the footage was taken on the 23/26 March and I would say( but I am not an expert ) that the cub is between two and three months old, so my reckoning would be born in January sometime, I also think that many predators even pike give birth a little bit earlier than there prey so they can grow up catching the new born offspring for the first year of life, it's a lot of assumption involved but it seems to fit and make perfect sense to me and next year
-
and I just offered you strong money for the body, same goes for anyone else that does either shoot one see one run over or just finds one in a hedge, I can arrange collection, payment and guarantee you anonymity cheers my quest goes on but like all forms of hunting it's much better in winter
-
you were not having it no matter what the outcome was of my meeting with socks, from the start to the finish you have just acted like a troll, it's a little bit sad really and not painting a great picture of yourself, I assume by your avatar you were born in 1985 which makes you 32 you profess to have a genuine interest in big cats and large preditors so here was a chance to learn a bit and exchange some views even if they are well different to mine I would still respect them and try to explain were I,m coming from and you likewise but everything you have contributed is like a 14year old kid,

Id like to thank socks, had a lovely drive up saw my first hare of the year and also a red kite on the way back, met a decent like minded bloke that has certainly had many years experience and knows his stuff all in all a good experience, as socks mentions in his summary the clip I have is of a baby so not only proof of excistance but also of breeding, I needed to know that the Cubs have grown and left the area before I could let any of this out, hence my slight paranoia, I would also like the area left undisturbed so I can hopefully get my cameras in there earlier next year and catch a pictur

Theres a mountain lion recently took a dog from the owners bedroom,california I think?Leopards in Africa and india regularly take dogs,they have even moved into towns and are seen on a regular basis in Africa and india,stock especially sheep would be preferable to deer in the UK I would think. one of the reasons my cameras are were they are is because every sheep field around has signs on the gates about stock being killed it's just easier to blame dogs and I believe the insurance pays out on dog attacks, I have found a sheep myself that was carried over two fields to cover before being eaten,
