Looks more like somebody shot too me
That is what I was thinking. That is a good shot. I am not saying it is not a cat but the pics make it look like it could have been shot with a small caliber weapon. Id have to argue, IF it was shot it was ALMOST a good shot lol. A good shot even with a caliber as small as a .22lr placed a 1/4" below the jaw facing head on will drop a deer in its tracks everytime......  22 shorts will do the same... |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

It may look like a 22 hole, but it wasn't. I've seen 22 holes and those holes were not from any rifle. Did I mention the neck was broken? And if this were a small tract of land, I might have considered a bullet at first, but this ain't your uncle's 100 acre deer lease we're talking about. These two deer were miles from a border fence, as in about 3 miles. So a road hunter is out of the question and I think we can rule out someone on foot.

This is what killed the deer. A friend took this 180 pound lion in Colorado in January.  |

Thanks Rick B, that is a nice cat there.
I talked to the ranch foreman this morning and he said has seen big cat tracks in this particular pasture recently and only about a half mile from where these deer were found.
