Bobcats 2010
Camo | February 6, 2010
Larry Yerger found a young 6 point freshly killed and covered in leaves and debris on Jan. 9, 2010 in pasture 5. We checked the sight and thought we may have a cougar kill, judging by the size of the claw marks scraping up dirt and leaves to cover the body.
Rick set a game camera on the location and we soon discovered it was bobcats, big ones. The camera took over 600 photos of these cats as they came and went, spending several hours each time at the site. Over the next several days these two cats devoured the deer. They moved it 4 times and recovered it. You can see an old position in the back ground.
Only after the body was almost completely consumed did any scavengers come near. Raccoons came to scavenge but were chased off by the bobcats. No coyotes or foxes dared to get close. The natural wild, caught in the act.
