Here you go. Cougar tracks!!

The shot with the pen in it was in pretty hard ground - I'd estimate the weight of the creature that made these tracks to be between 70 - 85 kg. It has a "wheelbase" of about 1.2 meters.
And, as can be seen in the other photo, it has no claws at the end of the toes - as a dog would have.

One day I'll get a photo of the cunt. Or maybe a photo of its taxidermed hide, head and paws on my loungeroom wall.

good lord, is that a sasquatch print? Surely, no cougar is that big?

I've seen a big cat - about the size that would have made prints like this, and have seen tracks of a similar size before.

Interestingly there was also a slightly smaller set of prints interspersed with the ones in the flicks. Seems obvious to me that the cougars that supposedly don't exist here are doing pretty well.

These tracks were in fairly remote bush next to a ripper little creek - where they had been drinking from. I imagine that other animals would be likely to drink here as well. Food and water. Just hope I'm not on the menu one day. Fuck that jumping on ya back - it'd be a deadset cunt.

A fella that used to be a journalist with the now defunct Daily News went to cover a story about them down south years ago - he ended up writing a book about what he saw - heaps of photos and eyewitness accounts.

They ended up bringing special cougar tracking dogs over from the US somewhere- I think they ended up running out of time before they had to go home and didn't actually 'tree' any of them in the time they had.
Fucken interesting read and it seems that they are fairly widespread- unofficially.

Never lost my voice- can't shut this Ute up. Just thought it best to keep my thoughts to myself on that one.

As for wombats, prehistoric or nay.. yeah, they got claws..big feckers too. But, he could be a sneaky one... walking on the soles of his wee little feet, so as to confuse you bush babies, and put you in a false sense of hope!
I can just imagine Wally the Wombat, sitting in his burrow with his wife and tinlids, telling 'em of the days escapades..

But truth be told, I can believe your theory of pussy tracks...

Oddly enough, the Siamese cat we had when I was a child tried to kill me. The emergency room doctors could not believe the extent of the damage to me from a CAT.
I don't even like thinking what a BIG cat could do...

No need to be shy here ute, let your thoughts fly free.

Littlethings - cats are evil. The only good cat is a dead one. The bird and native animal killing cunts.
All of the ferals I've trapped have tried to get me through the cage when approached - full on attack mode. A bullet in the head takes care of that.
I wouldn't like a BIG cat to launch at me like that without a cage around it.
I'm guessing that you're not a cat person either:)

No cat person here.
I can't stand them, honestly. And when I visit friends, and the cats want to come rub against my legs, it's all I can do to be polite.

I loved them as a child, but not anymore.

And I am NOT ditzy!

Just kick the fucken things and yell out "FUCK OFF YOU CUNT OF A THING" - that'll do the trick for dropping a subtle hint to the owners.
I generally offer to shoot the cunt for folks - sometimes they say yes :)

ditzy - hehehe :)

Do we get to come over to see the unveiling of the head and paws on your lounge room wall? (Tell me there's a Velvet Elvis on that wall, too!) And if there is a reception, will there be served cucumber sandwiches and lemonade?

Blogger rackorf said...

If I get the fucker there'll be an unveiling. I'll have to rearrange my knives and swords so that there is a place to hang it - (no Elvis).
As for the reception - it'll be warm pies, dead horse and cold piss. Any cunt showing up with cucumber sangas and lemonade will join the taxidermy job on the wall:)

Geez miss smack, you must have camels with funny looking feet over your way - come to think of it, didn't they test some nukes in SA once or twice...

Those prints don't look like camel toes to me. ;)

I heard all those cougar-tracking dogs ended up in the back bar at 'Cherry Jam' in Double Bay...

Not to many camel toe prints around here littlething:(

Well fingers, they might as well stay there for the cougars they got over here the useless cunts.

Oh you are starting to sound too much like my soon to be Ex-husband.
Come to think of it you always did.

I guess the appeal is, you are at least 1/2 a world away.

If you were here I'd have to kill you.

Hey Tart, the Ex husband must be a good bloke then.
Is that soon to be Ex-husband soon to be deceased as well?
Are all concerned citizens of a similarly lethal mindset?
Lucky that you are half a world away, if you were here I'd have to feed you to the pigs.
