Greyman 27,919 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Here is a good little pic a friend has just sent back from Colorado it's the tooth pits I spoke of before, if anyone finds one of these I would be really grateful of a photo and a location and if your feeling really helpful you could send me the bone this was a small elk,s pelvis bone that had been killed and eaten by a puma, it's the three holes on the shoe, the cutting teeth of a cat will plug in to it just like a plug in a socket,b Edited May 23, 2017 by Greyman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DanielG 286 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 heres a picture of a lynx i trapped for " referance" on size, there feet are easily as big as a cougars so they can run on top of deep snow.Eeasily 4" diametre around. There claws are like razors. And there canines are about 1.5 inches long this one weighed 32# I personally dont believe there is a population of big cats in uk. cheers Dan 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 25,987 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 How did you catch that Dan?I saw some in the natural history museum in Ottawa,they have feathering on their feet to distribute weight in deep snow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IVE caught lots of em mate , this was my biggest ever. I caught him in a 330 double sping in a WOODEN box with snow shoe hare for bait. cats are really easy to trap which is why i dont believe they exist here.There so curios you can use visual lures to attract them .i used to use a birds wing on a piece of string Which works a treat. there easy to trap but hard to hunt without dogs cheers Dan 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 27,919 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I don't think it's possible to draw comparisons with country,s were animals are common, the photo of the elks hip bone was found by a friend of mine who has been in Colorado for a couple of weeks in England I know of eight sets of tooth pits that have been found in over a year, in the area I have been searching in i find signs of activity every couple of years, I,m also doing quite a bit of trespassing so not really possible to run houds around or set traps, I accept its a needle in a haystack but reports in small local news papers keep on coming week after week, as a man that's seen big cats close up what is your opinion of the first picture that started this, I have friends who have been to the carpark that photo was taken in and done measurements and size comparisons and the animal in the picture is about 4ft long and 2ft high I,m not being funny I would genuinely be interested in what you think it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
