I posted a thread a while back concerning the pict above that has since been closed. My neighbor though he saw a cougar and was convienced it was my problem.
Well I finally figured out what was going on. Tonight I saw a animal working its way across the same ridge behind the house. I grabbed my own binos and saw the neighbor to the east Wiemerriner he looked huge but once again was skylined which made him look bigger. The outline of his body closely matched that in the picture provided by the neighbor. So just wanted to say thanks again to everyone that shared advice on the original question but a kitty it was not.
