Thought I would throw in a more local Big Cat. Image taken in North Central Arizona a few weeks ago. We were about 12 feet apart, snapped a few images, said goodby and left.

Was this in the wild? That is unbelievable! And in my own state of Arizona! My dream is to see a wild mountain lion, but I doubt I will. BTW I would love to have you contribute the image and story to this thread: https://bcgforums.com/threads/poll-have-you-seen-a-wild-puma.26214/

OK, I am going to try this again. My big cat image of a Mountain Lion taken a few weeks ago in Northern AZ. We were about 12 feet apart, staring at each other. Took some fast images, said goodby, and left. Did not really get worried until I got home and realized what I had done at such a close encounter. DaleView attachment 80552

Stunning shot Dale! That is awfully close to get to a mountain lion. Can I ask what lens you were using? Would love to see our local mountain lions one of these days.

Sure Recardo, I had a Z9 with a 24-120. I knew I was going to be close so wanted an ability to keep it in focal distance. BTW If you go to MrFotofool,s request for images of lions in the wild I have a better input. Thanks for the nice compliment. Dale
