I've seen two bobcats while hunting. I had one come in last year from directly downwind, stop under my stand and drink from a stream. I wanted to take him, but it was prime time and I didn't want to have his squalling scare off any deer. I don't know if I would have shot him anyway as I have a problem killing something I'm not going to eat. That said, I would still shoot a 'yote if I had the chance because they are way overpopulating my area. I see them chasing deer all the time. There are a couple of coy-dogs the size of large german shepherds out there too. I'm waiting for a chance at one of them.
