Water Rat

Fisher would be my first guess.....bobcat would be my second. Hard to reconize it by the back legs

Wow........not sure but if it was another fawn , I would think it would be closer to the doe. They look skittish and one fawn looks to be troting off maybe because of the camera flash ? My guess would be another fawn because I think I can see the outline of the animal's left ear. Good question but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

Whenever I get depressed I watch my wedding video bacwards.........it always has a happy ending.

Did you have it scored ?

Congrats..........but now my neck hurts.

" DEC Confirms Wild Mountain Lion In Lake George" What Took So Long ? The DEC had paw track photo's and hair samples taken by retired DEC Colonel Eggleston 7 months before it was struck and killed by a car in Connecticut. It's obvious that Colonel Eggleston knew exactly what he was photographing at that time and yet not a word was said about it. If the mountain lion hadn't been killed , do you honestly believe the NYSDEC would have released this statement ?

Burt...........Some people just can't admit when their wrong .

It's just somebody's pet that escaped or was released.....If you don't believe me , just ask the DEC .

Hey WNYBuckHunter , You said " Proof that a captive cat was let loose in Ct ". WHAT PROOF ?? Do you work for the DEC ?

Why doesn't the Connecticut DEP release some information as to the stomach contents and whether or not the mountain lion was de-clawed ? Why do they need to confer with New York DEC ? Sounds like they want to get their story straight.......smells like a cover up to me .

I heard of a mountain lion being hit on Taconic near Catskill,NY. I never found out if it ran off after being struck or if it actually died on the parkway.

Some people are way to skeptical in regard to mountain lion sightings . I saw a mountain lion in Dutchess county in 1997 while trout fishing . I watched it walk along the opposite bank for a good 3 minutes . I really don't care if anyone doesn't believe me , but when I contacted the DEC in New Paltz , I was given the standard explanation of a pet released into the wild . Just because you never seen one doesn't mean they don't exist . I have never seen a bobcat and I know that they are around . I remember hearing of bear and moose sightings in the city of Beacon so why is it so far fetched about mountain lions ? I'm not talking about UFO'S or Sasquatch , but a legitimate mammal. Just for the record , I know exactly what a mountain lion looks like and have been fishing , trapping and hunting since the late 1970's . Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

Man..............I feel your pain !!! I was spending close to $20.00 a day on cigarettes. I have been a smoker on and off since I was in high school in the mid 70's. I stopped again on New Years Day and today marks 5 months exactly since I last smoked a cigarette. I still miss lighting up and I don't think that will ever change . I know that I can't just have one or even smoke a cigar, because the cravings will return . I hope I never have another cigarette for the rest of my life and hope you do the same . Best of luck cause your gonna need it !

Patience , Perseverance and Persistence is what it takes to tag a tom this late in the season...........congratulations !!!!!!

Congratulations on your first bird . Enjoy your new addiction

It's amazing that you found the slug ! Best of luck finding the deer...let us know how you make out .

Just wondering if anyone has seen any bobcats while deer hunting in Dutchess County this year.

Can anyone recommend a predator riffle for taking coyotes and bobcats ? I am considering a Savage model 10 in a .223 caliber. Thanks in advance .

Awesome site......Just had to join. I'm from Dutchess County.
