RE: Very cool group of visitors past my trail camera
I know you all are not going to believe me but I have seen probably 50+ bobcats in the woods over the course of a 40 year hunting career.Three years ago I killed two with my bow within 3 days of each other. That was a highlight of my bowhunting life.

What? The bobcat isn't going to get your chicken little ass!!
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!

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'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.

I have actually taken 2,one with a pistol and 1 with a bow(both were browns).I even passed on a grey that passed 10 yards in front of my stand after the landowner said he didn't want them killed.

All I can say is I have heard them scream from about 200 yards away,if one was to cut loose in the dark within 100 yards of me,I would need to go to the house for a wardrobe change.[

There was a little practical joke played on a certain member of the deer camp several years ago.There might have been a dead cat placed in a 10' ladder stand with his mouth propped open showing his teeth.
A certain unsuspecting sole might have gotten to his platform(right at daybreak)and let out a "scream" himself.It was reported you could hear him through the whole woods yelling a certain sombodies name and talking real bad about his mother.

That's awesome. Keep him in Missouri though. I don't want to have to deal with him across the river.
