Not my cat. Pictures were taken with numerous people. The person holding that big cat isn't the trapper either from what I've heard.

Wouldnt want to run into any of those in the bush.
Just to keep things in perspective,the amur(siberian) Tiger is known to weigh in at 800 lbs.

My guess is he has 20 pounds of whitetail in his belly or was caught at a bait station.

I know the guy on the right that caught that cat. I have spent a nite or two in that trailer house in the background. That area grows some big lions for sure, my cousin caught one in that area that weighed 182 I believe.

No it is not, for sure. I don't even know if he knows Brooks. He is the rancher that caught the lion. He has caught several each year for the last few years and has caught a ton of bobcats.

Time flies for a lot of us older people but about 20 or 25 years ago he bought some country out around Silver City, I think it was. I am not sure if he still has it or not.

There is a good number of "unknown" trappers in Texas that catch a lot of predators.


Sit on your horse on top of a ridge, look out across the country and tell me there is no God.

Does your cousin happen to be BD that trapped in that area 20 years ago or so ?

The largest one that I weighed was 120# on an old beam scale, the one this year was 75#, will be the last one as we lost our lion season, unless I can get a depredation permit or trap a res. Had pictures of 4 different lions on the ranch so there is no shortage of cats, they are fun to catch!
