Solax-I don't think a bobcat would attack you--they're more interested in getting the heck away from you. You would have more of a threat from a mountian lion, but they're not exactly common around here and they're scared of people too. I do agree with you though--it'll raise the hair on the back of you're neck when you're walking to your stand in the dark and one screams from where you're headed--been there, done that!
