I've had the game camera out on our Mariposa county, CA property (2500 ft. elevation and about ten miles west of Yosemite NP) for a little more than a year and a half and the camera is located 80 yards from our front door. It's actually 6:24 a.m. because I forgot to reset the time back at the end of daylight savings time.

Great job! That's quite close to the house!! Have you lost any dogs, cats, goats or anything? We have lions that have reestablished themselves over the last few years here in Missouri. I would love to see one in the wild.

Wow.!!!! That is wicked cool.:thumbsup:

Geez, that's really something right there. And, a compliment to the OP on setting up the camera to not get just one photo but, many. Nobody can argue that. Here in Maine there only "reports" of the mountain lion. You got 'em.!!

Congrtas man. Really awesome.:thumbsup:

What an animal.!!

Great pics, we have cats in our area but they tend to stay on the other side of the road. Neighbors see them more than us but that's just fine. Makes you think twice about walking out to the barn at night:laughing:

I used to see cougar tracks about 16 years ago when I bought this place, but I haven't seen any lately, despite the fact that my neighbor says they watched one out their door a couple of years ago. If I ever see a cougar on my camera, I'll be shocked. Your's is a big strong and very healthy lookin' animal.:thumbsup:
