Cool pic Greg. Better to see them than hear one scream 50' in front of you at O-Dark-30. That'll cause the color brown to be added to the camouflage pattern in your pant legs!

I heard one catch a rabbit 50' behind my stand once... I knew he lived in the area, so I was keeping a lookout for him. All of a sudden, I hear a bit of a noise like a jump in some grass, and then a rabbit cuts loose squealing. The jump was all I heard from the cat, but the rabbit's squeal was sort of eery in itself.

I've said it many times to a lot of different people... I'd give up my next P&Y buck to have a BIG bobcat standing in front of me.
My taxidermist is just plain awesome at mounting big cats. He traps a LOT of them, takes their pictures before dispatching them, studies them... I've never seen better work; they're simply gorgeous.

Thanks for sharing. My most memorable experience while hunting was watching a bobcat stalk a turkey a few years back. The turkey got away by taking off like a 747, but just barely. What was neat was that I saw the thing developing while the bobcat was a good 100 yards out.
The turkey never even suspected a thing until the bobcat made its leap through the air.

I haven't seen any around where I live but there plentiful up in northern Mn where I bear hunt. They are awesome creatures. Some day I hope to get one and get a full mount out of one. Great pics Greg, thanks for sharing!
