Yo /an/, I don't normally post on this board, but I feel like you guys would be qualified to answer. Could you help me ID a predator I saw in my backyard? I live in Southern NH, and the temperature is starting to drop, if that helps.

I was going outside about 10PM to check on my quail, when I shone my flashlight into the woods about 35-40 yards away. I saw a light, and when I shone my light on it more, I saw two. I called out to it, thinking it might be my dog. I doubted it, since my dog's eye shine is more whitish, this animal had a more red glare to it. It turned tail and ran, and looked sort of gray-ish, and looked like it had a tail. It might have just been a leg, but I am unsure. I am fairly certain it is a cat of some sort, maybe a bobcat, but those guys are smaller than what I saw. It moved way too fast and was too big to be a coon or a porcupine.

I have heard reports of a mountain lion in my town, and have seen scat that resembles that of a mountain lion in the woods. The scat could easily just be raccoon or bobcat, but I have seen actual, fresh, mountain lion scat when I was in New Mexico that looked similar. But, I know I am in the wrong area to have one of those around.

Anyone here know, it definitely spooped me out, so some details might be off.

Seems other people report sightings, too. No one has managed to shoot one yet, which makes me doubt it.

I don't think this has to be said, but the photo is just from Google images.
