Guys,

I wanted to get this footage out.

I understand it was taken in Mexico from a deer stand.

That doesn't look like a lion to me.Looks like a bobcat!????

If that's a bobcat, it will be the new world record. Definitely a lion.

Depends on the size of the deer.

I had all those thoughts watching it several times.

I Swore I could see the side-burns and bob tail, but the size wouldn't work for me unless that deer was the size of a hound. Then I paused my way through the video frame by frame a few times until I finally caught the profile and long tail of a lion unmistakably.

Well coues whitetails ARE the size of a hound. But I would have to go with anyone who viewed it on a computer with the ability to pause or slow it down. On the phone it just looks like two small furious dust bunnies.

I looked at it again and again and I still think its a bobcat . Theres got to be more opinions out there ??? It is a pretty cool video. Those coues deer are tiny and that cat is lightning fast!!

Takes a little work and lots of tries, but if you stop the video at the right moment you will see the long tail. Unmistakable.

I'm with David. Seen the evidence of many a bobcat take down a deer but that video is a lion. I slowed it down and spotted the long tail.

Some upper midwest bobbies get 35+ and a late doe fawn might only be 70 lbs so the size disparity could be possible here. Not sure about mexico though.

I can't slow it down or blow it up. But coues deer are the smallest white tail subspecies and some unidentified desert whitetail types aren't any bigger. Think a four×four buck with ten inch spread.

I'd have to agree with David. Swore I saw a long tail there. The head and build really looks like a lion too.

I am going to go with lion as well. It looks like a young one that's not to experienced though. On Coues white-tailed deer, my dad shot a 3 by 3 Coues that weighed 36 lbs field dressed. The rack fits in my caged hands. Tiny!

With the video quality I was half expecting to see Sasquatch walk by in the background haha
