Grew up in the mountains of Colorado. These tracks are all too familiar. Game control rarely knows its head from a hole in the ground. Big cats even wonder around the ‘mountains’ of the San Francisco Bay Area. If there is food cats will be there.
As log as its not super hungry or wounded or protecting young uns you should be just fine. Sure wouldn’t be out at night(early evening or early morning) though that when a lot of big predators do most of their hunting.
Thanks for the info. If I get pictures (and video) will post here and on YouTube. We are a mile from an elementary school. I am concerned and would like to figure out if there is any danger here.
