Compare to a Mountain lion. Depth of body, size of paws, etc.

Bobcat. Have those in abundance here in SW Ga. Most I have seen were gray in color. Mountain lions/Florida Panthers have really long tails and often sport collars by wildlife agencies.

Looks like he got in a good fight, got a patch missing from shoulders!

You would know one at night, their scream.

I heard one scream once when I lived in Pennsylvania. Very terrifying. Like the scream when Earth, Wind, and Fire recorded a song and next door to the recording studio, a lady was murdered in a knife attack. Her blood curdling scream was recorded in the sound track.

After looking at different pictures, its probably a bobcat, seems to be skint up a little. Just doesn't look like most bobcats I have seen, more sleek and lean, probably just its summer coat.

Bobcat I've got one mounted that's about that size weighed 48 pounds.
