Ontario Cougar Sighting?

[Tactical870]

A friend's camp has been mysteriously low on deer this year. Several weeks ago, this animal chased a doe off one of their bait piles. The tail certainly looks like a cougar's. Pic was taken in Irondale Ontario. Thoughts?

Looks like a bushy canine tail...not a long slender cat tail. I say coyote or wolf.

It's a sasquatch. There is no cougar in Ontario mnr has said so, and they won't lie to us.
Amazing how fast this came from Facebook [emoji12]

Cougar tails are actually relatively thick. cougar_lindab-538x354.jpg

Could be cat. Mnr has skirted the issue but occasionally accepts cougars are present. A couple of years ago a friend watched a cougar walk through a river in front of him while he was on a canoe trip. He was NE of the Sault. He said it was bigger than him and had a long tail. Definitely was a cougar.
