Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 There were patches of ice and snow so could the cat ( if it was a cat ) not have had its claws out to hunt/keep its footing ????? There's always that possibility socks. I'm also starting to realise how interesting the location is, to me. Did you give us a date? (Sorry, it's all getting lost in a sea of multi quoting and horseplay here) Best I can really do is to suggest, as above, you have a squint at Google. Any tracking web site should show you the differances to look for in cat / dog. And I believe you'd have a better eye for that photo. Because you know what you're looking at, if that makes sense?

weasle 1,119 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 To me that photo looks more like a dog print,I used to work with exotics and see tiger lion prints daily much rounder than that,from what i remember.Another thing with snow prints is if a track gets sun hitting them it can melt the edges making them look bigger. Why not take a copy to your nearest zoo ask one of the big cat keepers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I caught a Bengal in a cage trap this winter at work which was lucky I'd seen it before the keeper and the dogs did so it got reunited with its owners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RubyTex 1,957 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I was out lamping one night, just me and the dog walking down a sunken path in the dark, deep wood on both sides, and some thing was shadowing us along the the ridge to the left, never saw anything, but it certainly freaked me out a little, the dog was scared too, and that dog was scared of very little. That really is what made me worry a little, as the dog would of shot in if it smelt anything normal, not afraid to say we made a quick exit lol. It always comes into my mind when reading these sort of threads. the darkness, out of place noises, and a bit of adrenaline can help along the imagination a bit. It was Jimmy Savile Quote Link to post Share on other sites
04fox8 168 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Spot on Pete, if the government had proof of anything there is no way they would tell us. I used to know someone who was in the army and was involved in the hunt for the beast of bodmin moor (for those old enough to remember that) He said that they were tracking human prints that just dissappeared, not a trace, dosent sound that big a deal but it was enough to spook him and he wasnt exactly a shrinking violet and remember we only know, what they want us to know When I was a kid on holiday, driving accross Dartmoor, we stumbled accross a sheep massacre, loads mutilated..............took pictures and when we got them developed at boots, every shot came out fine except the sheep massacre photos. In my mind back then I thought it was not a coincidence and I feel the same way now UFO's...........a retired U.S. fighter pilot was stationed over here and can now discuss events over the UK as it has been declassified. He was ordered to fire everything he had at a radar fix the size of an aircraft carrier that flew away at mach 9!! Saw it today on the T.V. and the chap himself explained this. This was in the early 60's I think. If the government knew nothing why order him to fire everything at it and a 60's plane or even a secret one doing mach9.........doutfull Anyway it keeps my mind busy UFO's and big cats now we're talking. lion_savannah.jpg Was that photo taken near to Glasgow....??? http://local.stv.tv/glasgow/223574-passenger-plane-involved-in-near-miss-with-ufo-near-glasgow-airport/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
