Very cool group of visitors past my trail camera
 
I think these are among the coolest animals in the woods...

Very cool Greg. I've only seen 2 bobcats in my 26 seasons with a bow. The last was 04 when I shot that broken rack buck/ 1x4. That buck was watching the bobcat mouse'n when I decided to shoot him.

Great pic Greg, awesome!

I hope to get a bobcat tag someday! They are a very cool looking animal, I would be happy just to call one in one of these days, even If I can't shoot it!!!!!!

Yes, Rory... this is on some public land just north of me. I actually got several shots of them at different times and different days, but this was the best one.

I always love seeing cats out in the woods. They are so cool.

I have yet to see one, but they are very rare in Ohio.

Very cool! I've seen a few, but not sure if I've seen any while hunting.

Oh sure, are we really suppose to remember which year it was you shot a broken up rack.[8D] Let's see, it must have been between 1985 and 2007. LOL

Cook picture there MO. I've only seen two in all my years of hunting. One in Georgia and one in the Adirondacks. OH, and one my brothers dogs killed hunting coyotes.

Cool pics. I've never seen a group of them. I see singles here and there, about 1 every other year.

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

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!

RE: Very cool group of visitors past my trail camera
 
I agree. They are the coolest animal in the woods. I love to watch them. Talk about a lesson in stalking.....

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. :)

That scream is like a banshi's. It's bloodcurling. Don't know any other way to describe it. Don't ever want to hear it again.:D

Really cool Greg. I used to see them all the time up here but for some reason they have thinned out a little or I am just not lucky enough to see them.

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.

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!

Very cool. That would be awesome to see.

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.

Yeah BUT, you got those little bitty buggers in Florida. We got REAL cats. LOL There are a lot of cats in the South which surprised me. 50, now that's a ton of cats.

I'll tell you what brother, if you are walking quietly in the dark to get to the stand and it's nice and quiet and all of a sudden one of those lets out its' scream, if that don't startle the sphincter loose, I don't know what will. Just imagine walking down the trail to your stand all alone in pitch black and then a woman letting out a terrifying scream when you don't expect it. It'll get ya.

I shot one a few years ago but never got it mounted,I really regret that.

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.

TFOX 08-20-2008 10:53 PM

RE: Very cool group of visitors past my trail camera
 
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.[:o]



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.:D

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.:D

Todd, are you referring to some sort of color phase in your locale? I've never heard bobcats being referred to in this way...
