This family is alive because they owned a handgun.

Wimps should have called these guys before they shot it.

...and "When bobcats are outlawed only outlaws will have bobcats." :lol:

Read of a fellow who was calling for turkeys and suffered brain damage when a bobcat pounced on his head. Not a critter to trifle with.

One jumped me once, blasted cat darn near knocked my mojito outta my hand before I killed it with nothing more than a vicious stare. That was just before I got my gig as a spokesman for Dos Equis.

A bobcat?
Was it sick?
I've lived around wildlife as a hunter and outdoors man all my life and bobcats are the last thing I worry about, I've even played hide and seek with a set of two year old triplets.
Seriously, if you are bigger than a bobcat/lynx stomach in my experience you haven't got a concern.
Bobcats/lynx are one animal I haven't worried about watching my friends photograph at close range either, on the way to a job one day about eight years ago we even had a big tom pose for pictures under a tree at less than ten feet.
Probably the only wild predator I would have ever considered doing that with actualy, I sure as hell wouldnt get that close to a white tail deer or other herbivore!
EDIT:I forgot about the red fox who adopted a welding shop north of Whitecourt years ago where she raised several litters of kits, red fox are also on my "of no concern" list.

Like all wild animals, I think they sense when one is fearful of it, and when one is just wanting to get close enough to it to stab it with a spork then grill it.:bad_boys_20:

[bigshell]

They suspect it was rabid,that puts a whole different light on it there.Rabid animals do not behave normaly and can be really agressive.

[KegRiver]

99% chance it was rabid.

We don't have Bobcat up herebut we do have Lynx and my experience with wildlife says this is not normal behaviour.

Here is a Lynx in my brothers yard. We could approach to within a couple of feet, and it wouldn't attack.

Thats your pitch?
We need handguns to protect our families from bobcats?

Seriously?

How many individuals let alone whole families have been taken down by a freaking bobcat?
Ever...in all recorded history.

He probably could have done just as well with a hockey stick....

Posts like that... that sort of "tactical" thinking is why we are losing ground to the antis....
