Accip74 7,112 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Greyman, two questions.......Is your footage/pic fairly close up or is the subject at some distance? ...secondly, do you consider it more convincing than most of the other pics/footage that's out in the public domain? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 27,713 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 You'd think the folk trying to prove their existence woukd get some decent HD cameras and do their thing.A halfway decent trail-cam nowadays will give you 1080 and 12mp,thats damned good quality,doesnt deteriorate to a blurry screen at night.then maybe you should get it out the box stop quoting what it says on the label and flood us with your fantastic footage, if I wanted a fox case would be closed cheers I truthfully don't need to,i am not the one filming big cats.

DogMan85 722 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Has any escaped, possibly. Is there now wild Big Cats roaming our lands, hunting, breeding, making new territories? I say a big no......... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) This is the sort of proof positive that's irrefutable,we now know wallabies survive in the UK,footage taken I presume on a phone camera. ah the elusive wallaby yes, I can tell the difference between a cat and a fox mate on my cameras but out of hundreds of fox shots I get half may be good and usable were as if I had hundreds of pictures of cats I may be able to pic a few good ones out, I think the wallaby actually looked like a dog in a suit and how many people would want to be that close to a leopardr how many leopards would come that close to a human it's starting to go a bit silly again nowI never ridiculed you,never said I disbelieved what you think you saw,i just raised a few pertinent pointers,now your getting defensive saying its getting silly,i know a bit about trail cams,i have a few,so I pointed out Gordon buchanan didn't edit footage or stick in stock film fillers that's all,even a partial animal picture is fairly identifiable if filmed at night on a trail cam,moreso a spotted leopard,what else in the UK countryside can it be mistaken for?mate your just covering old ground that's been done pages ago I have met these people that make these programmes I know how much it all costs and the time they take getting the footage and yes Gordon bucananans gear is edited as part of the show I love his work but what you get to see is not what happens in real life, a famous bit of tv footage you may have seen is Jaguars that come to the beach every year to eat the turtles that nest there, despite the fact the locals all new when and were they arrived every year it still took the film crew two weeks and over twenty grand to catch a couple of minutes of film, so unless you are working in the wildlife film department you are not seeing unedited uncut footage I have absolutely hundreds of useless shots of animals ears asses and tails that I spend half my life deleting from sd cards some of them if you wanted inconclusive evidence you could use like a really long black tail about two and a half foot above the ground that I caught when something ran past my camera but it's inconclusive will always be so I deleted it, also may I suggest you look up melonistic cats as it makes them black I have only ever seen one picture of a spotted leopard all the rest are melonistic like the one I am starting to regret putting up at the beginning, I,m not being self defensive just gets a bit tiring going over and over the same ground everytime someone else joins in without reading the previous million pages that I have attempted to write in answer to the questions, I don't for one second profess to have all the answers it's just something I enjoy doing I,m not a liar don't really need to justify what I do or what photos I chose to show or keep myself I never started the thread and all I,ve done is tried answering people to the best of my knowledge so yes for me it is getting a bit silly, I will gladly attempt to answer anyone with a genuine question, but I really don't need to sit here defending my integrity or even the footage on my cams as I,ve said I will show it to socks next week as required by the people on here and he can tell you if I have an out of focus fox at 300 yards distance or what I think I have is the real deal, it's really that simple and I certainly don't need people telling me how easy it is for people on telly on a fantastic wage using equipment that cost more than my house to get a photo in a place they know the animal lives it's a stupid comparison hence my slightly prickly answers Never seen a BIG cat,...but I did see a pair of wee spotty ones one night...

They were poor, abandoned lost souls, hunting rabbits on our local Golf Course,... We were out with the dogs,.just having a shine....when I saw a real sleek critter running down the Fairway like crazy... I do believe one of those African moggies got itself run over, or something.... Who knows,..anyway, its been stuffed,.. and now resides in a dusty Museum somewhere... Any chance of putting a pic up ?
