Dang!!!! How big are your mice to need bobcat?
Some of the best pets I ever had were wild born.I'm not sure I could ever trust a wild animal. Especially knowing how a house cat can trip out and bite the mess out of you. I'm sure a bobcat could do some damage.
During the winter growing up my grandfather would take a chair out into the backyard and place 4 5 gallon buckets of wheat around him.Growing up down near Belhaven NC we had an older gentleman that lived down the road from us on a long dirt driveway and he was the only house down the path. He met me when I was 4 and saw how I loved wildlife. After about a year of him knowing me, he approached my parents to see if he could let me witness something cool. He invited me and my parents to bring chairs, and we were told to sit quietly and not move. Right at sunset, he started to whistle. Almost immediately little furry faces appeared 20 yards away in the woods edge. Slowly a family of red foxes walked out, first just the parents and then the kits. They walked right up to Mr Haggard and ate treats out of his hands. The kits ate and then played at our feet. It was so very cool. For years the next generations of foxes came out every night for dinner. When Mr Haggard passed, there were close to 30 that came out each evening. Flash forward 47 years and when I go back to the end of the road and his abandoned house, I still see fox tracks in the sand.
Welcome to LRH - and thanks for the picture. I've shot a lot of BCats - but I've never seen one like that! Gorgeous.Hahahahahha, Who else can say they have a "Tactical BobCat", or as ive been calling him all morning "Tactical Bobby"
He has been less than amused by me and the wife today. Only a little of blood was drawn on getting this on him. Hes on his way to the vet tomorrow unfortunately to get neutered so he has to have something on to get from house to truck.
Interesting taxidermy - that is one nasty looking critter!W. Texas bobcat in my house. Only indoor cat.
