Washington Siberian Cougar

Followed this set of tracks for 2 miles today out on GMU 460. I’m an XL in Gloves, and they fit tight. No shortage of food for this heavy cat up there.

5 toes and looks like some claw marks. Looks like Black bear.

Malaysian Sabertooth Dugong was my guess but they usually wear red silk gloves

Gotta go with black bear.

This is great.

That is the front right track of a black bear. Black bear tracks show 5 toes and claws. Cat tracks have 4 toes and no claws. Below is a jaguar track i took a photo of, cougar tracks are similar, but a jaguar track is wider than long whereas a cougar track is about the same width and length as well as less space between the toes and pad.

Sorry to ruin your Siberian story but it is still a cool find.

You guys gotta work on your tracking skills, computer hacking skills, bowhunting skills, nunchuck skills.

I thought this was going to be a neighborhood bar on Friday night story…

Sorry dude, but this made me laugh out loud. Wtf is a siberian cougar? Lol.

Small world, but here's a cougar that I killed in 460. Yours has an extra toe...

Here's the paw from an Idaho bear I killed for future reference.

This is been the most pleasantly surprising thread ever. Keep it going!

I’m gonna stick with Washington Siberian, maybe change cougar to jaguar though.

Couldn’t be a black bear. They are too sickly and weak from winter.
