From the size you describe, it's the big one with a long tail. The only other one with a footprint coming close to a cougar is a Lynx, and I'd bet on a Cougar before a Lynx. Carnivore track sizes

Carnivore track sizes Lynx are pretty small. I have seen Bobcat. But this is close to what the print looked like:  About 4.5-5" wide, 4 toes, no claws, and I never looked at the heel pad because the print was so large and I kinda said something I can not repeat. Oh Joy! I am not worried about me or anyone else, but Luna would defiantly take it on. And I am only worried about her. I was hoping, but can't deny the facts. We got us a Mountain Lion hanging around!

I've only seen 2 of them in my life. Both were when elk hunting in New Mexico and Arizona. I have seen huge tracks on my land and the local Game Warden told me about some verified sightings in the area. I feel very lucky to have seen 2 of them.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I was hoping that 3 legged buck would make it... I think if the winter had not been so harsh it would have.
