Hey everyone, just curious on what you think. My neighbor took this picture from his house. Looks like one to me.  My other neighbor had a guy out shearing his sheep and that guy suppossedly saw it cross the driveway when he was leaving. I put my trail cam out but haven't got any pictures yet.

Suppossedly they sent the pic into the IDNR to get their input. I haven't heard what if anything they heard back from them. This pond is an old strip pit right across the field from my house. They built a house that overlooks the pond.

I would say yes, short face and body shape and color look right

Cougars are in IA for sure.  Have pics of tracks in snow and mud.

Definitely a Cougar, and not even that unusual in Iowa anymore. Wasn't that long ago a guy shot one off a limb when he was out Deer hunting. Of course he caught all kinds of crap from the City animal rights people.

That's a bobcat!

I would have to agree that the cat looks more like a bobcat than a cougar which makes him a turkey killing machine.  Shoot that bugger!

Looks like a bobcat to me.  No tail and you can see the long hair on his cheek.

If that is a bobcat then that has to be a world record.  That thing is over 100 lbs.
