Ok, the short version of the story... My cousin lives in an upscale neighborhood in west virginia. Houses are fairly close together and mainly owned by doctors lawyers etc. Her and her step dad were awoken a few weeks back by the screaming of an animal. When the went outside and shined a flashlight, they said they seen a large cat running away. When they reported this to the DNR, they claimed that this was roadkill, and it was staged. They submitted the prints and some photos to the nearby cabelas, and they are doing their own investigation. That brought on an event and some other photos being submitted. Here are the pictures taken right outside of my cousins house the next morning.
and here is one of the pictures they took of the prints. Your average size lighter for size reference.
and this here is one of the other pictures that was submitted to cabelas from a local persons trail camera. my question to you, is this a really big bobcat or mountail lion??
either way, this is a VERY bizzar case, and why would th DNR be trying to hide/cover this up saying it was roadkill placed there? (btw, there were no drag marks from any roads, side yards or from any tire tracks. Just tracks of a cat, and deer......) So hmmmm... something seems a little fishy here!
