That's definitely a lion and NOT a bobcat. I've seen them at night before on a ranch I was hunting south of SWEETWATER.

Very cool pic , I heard there was some north of sweet water We had one (or several, who knows) frequently on a ranch about 15 miles NW of Sweetwater. Once the wind generators went up, all sightings and signs disappeared.
Silver spurs and gold tequila
keep me hanging on.
Pretty girls and old cantinas
give me shelter from the storm.

Which direction out of Sweetwater?
We are 22 miles south of sweetwater off of 70 and have had multiple sitings of 2 diff mountain lions over the past 5 years.
Looks like the young tom I drove up on last year, lanky and about 70 lbs.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

Might be a bear if it were darker, heavier, and shaped differently, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that it is a mountain lion.

No doubt about that one. The rare, long tailed bobcat.

Definitely a lion. I encountered one back in 1996 on my lease in Sweetwater about 5 miles north of the airport. It had one of my birddogs down and I still think to this day I shocked that cat off of my dog with the e-collar. $600.00 dollars later, I got to leave Sweetwater after spending the night at the vet saving the dog. She made it though.
