My friend got these off his camera Monday night. Showed them to the local conservation agent and they are telling him that they are bobcats.

I say BS. The rumor mill around says that the MO Dept of conservation released some cougars to repopulate and help keep the deer population down.

they deny it and say there are no cougars in MO.

Yeah, those looking nothing like bobcats. The more I look at that first pic the more I see cougar. When you first posted this, I was looking for bigfoot.

They are here in Michigan and have been for a while I hit one with my truck in 98 and we just had two confirmed sightings in the Eastern U.P. over the last month. There was also one in town last fall and its picture was taken by a ATM camera that it walked by down town.
