    Is there a big cat ranch up there? I'm down in Ellis County and I have never heard of that place. Nice images.

    He was rescued from a abused owner! I din't realize you can abuse big cats, but apparently it is true. He along with 4 other cats are being cared for on a private ranch North of Dallas. The owners organize photoshoots every so often to pay for their care, etc...

    Nice! Number 3 looks like the focus is on his rump...or is it my monitor? Still awsome pics. Bet it was scary having him walk over toward you...
    So, people pay the owners to shoot the tigers? Or how does that work?

    Not a big cat ranch, just 4/5 cats, lots of land, private house. You can get more information on the next shoot at TexasPhotoForum.com
