Saw one this past Dec. while sitting in a ground blind. I was watchin the squirrels, when they all dissapeared up trees, no barking like when a coyote or fox comes by. Was wonderin what was up when I spotted some movement about 30 yards out & thought at first it was a small dog. Cat walked by about 20 feet away & never saw me. I guess they cant smell real good as he aproached from downwind & never even looked in my direction.
