They are fun to watch. Probably the rarest animal to see in the woods. I have tried to shoot at a couple while bowhunting but I have yet to have one cooperate. I could have killed a couple gun hunting but I am always afraid the legend of the muey grande is standing 50 yards out of sight, so I never have.

They are cool animals . We have tons of them down here in florida . Traveling along the miami canel early in the morning south of lake okeechobee a couple years ago on a duck hunt we counted twenty , thats in about 20 miles . Once in a tree stand in Kenansville , I had a small 20 lb'er kill and eat a rat right under my tree in about 1 minet . This year out in the corbet management area I saw the largest one I've ever seen in the woods , he had to go about 50 to 60 lbs . He came into bow range , and I could have taken him but had no desire to do so , as he was in an area were I was hunting a large buck we have been seeing for 2 years .

I saw one in early bow twice. the first time i saw him he stopped right under my stand and stared directly at me. The second time i was walking in by moon light when it jumped out of some tall grass right next to me. They are a rare here inn Indiana.

Man thats cool I have been lucky enough to take two with my bow but they are quite common around here.

What part of MD was this sighting? I work from home and get to watch quite a few fox, deer, squirrels, etc from the window while working. I've yet to see a racoon back there but I know they're out there

ijimmy,

That reminds me of one I saw one night on Presidents Island in Memphis. I was stading on the back of the lot of a sugar transprort service. When I saw a LARGE pit bull about a 100 yards off, walking down the rail road track toward me. I was standing behind a diesel and watched as the pitbull got closer. I was standing behind 8 ft. chain link and the track was about 50ft from the fence. As the pit bull got closer the hair stood on the back of my neck as I realized the pit bull was actually a bob cat and he would go every once of 50 pounds and probably more. I stood beside the truck and watched as the cat walked on by. It's hard to explain in a believable manner just how big that cat was.

You sure you had enough sleep last night????

Cablebandit... this is Howard County. Can you believe it? I guess I shouldn't have doubt the priest when he told me about one being around 2 years ago. This is the 3rd bobcat I've seen in the woods. One in Georgia and one in the Adirondacks. This one was what I'd call a VERY big bobcat. I don't know if they're legal to shoot in Maryland or not, but it doesn't matter. I wouldn't shoot him if he gave me a slam dunk. They're just too cool to watch. This one didn't give me a lot of "Look" time but enough to see just how spooky they can be. The one I saw in Georgia about 25 years ago still has me shaking my head. It's a long story so I won't go into it now. I got to watch him come in, try to figure out what was wrong, where the danger was and how he could sneak away for 30 minutes. Just a blast. As far as pictures. I left the camera in the truck and anyway, I doubt he'd have stood for the motion of digging it out.

i killed 3 bobcats last year.one of them is a monster 26 pound female.and the other ones was young bobcats.but the big one i killed is mounted wright now looks great .i killed the big bobcat while i was deer hunting and the other two was killed while i was rabbit hunting.bobcats are everywhere hear in tennessee.


go deep hunt hard.

That sounds really cool. I've never seen one in the woods. Are you anywhere near Crofton?? Or do you have any idea where that is?
