Ice storm the other day so I get down in my draw and this is what I find. I have no clue yet what it was yet did not look at the card or if it even took a video at all so what’s your guess based on the pic provided and my descriptions.

The tree is a dead oak no teeth marks I could see like a porky would do, no tracks because of the melting snow and the drag messing up the leaves.

So what’s your guess I’ll down load the SD card later and see if it tells the tale of the mess. The cubby is just off to the bottom left with the branches I could not get it in the photo. You can see it in the 2nd pic lower right there.

I’d say we are not in lion country but they just got a 7 footer across the river from Chamberlain, they did get 3 in that area a few years ago.

You could probably just smell the trap and identify it as a coon. Funny how those smells stick in your brain. Then again, you might have to find another trapper who doesn't extract skunk essence to get a good read.. wink

If you zoom in it looks like it might be the thing that came out of Sigourney Weaver in one of those Alien movies! Lol

My guess you hooked up the cat that you were after. How common are coon in that area? I had a cat a few years ago take a drag up a tree, up the the first limb. Like you I was looking for sign of the drag, heard a growl and looked up. Was a little surprised to see him up there.

If it was your bobcat you can still catch it. I dont believe they get trap shy. At least not very often.

The thing that sticks in my brain is the lack of chewing nothing on the trap zero blood to be found lots of damage to the tree from the chain it looked like. The tree was falling apart rotten scrub oak easy to break branches off of it what was left of it after t died.
