[QUOTE="budlight, post: 1278741, member: 2939"] I was talking about the few bob cats that I have run across like when out deer hunting in no where Nevada. When they have never seen a person. The last time i was walking on crusty snow above some basalt cliff canyons at near Zero degrees on a sunny day in december late mule deer hunt. I came across a series of dog and cat tracks all heading in a path one direction. so I followed the tracks and I came upon what little was left of a range cow that had not been rounded up on BLM range land. Blood all over the snow and very stripped. Mountain lion thoughts came into my mind because in the fall I came across a half covered deer that had been eaten. So now I'm walking and turning around as I go. Then off to my left I see a cat crouched and looking intently at something. It took off in a blaze and jumped through the air tackling another bob cat. They raised hell and then walked together. It was two nearly full grow kittens and then they walked up to Mom. So I walked with them for about a 1/2 mile just 75 feet to 100 feet away and they were going towards the cliffs. They had a cliff face den. I sat above them about 30 some feet above and they would just look at me enjoying the morning sunny day. I had BLM topography maps and i marked it down where they lived. I came back to Reno and went to the university and told them about the bob cats with no fear of people and they sent a study group out to film and research them in the spring. I have pictures of mountain lions and bob cats. I just let them do what ever they are doing. Coyotes on the other hand are for killing! As to coyotes.... This summer in Oregon. driving down the road and I would see a coyote runing across the road or standing out in field mousing. I just pulled over and parked. Then got my rifle out of the case walked around and loaded it........ and they stood there out in the field just looking at me when they got my very best. Maybe young one's that had never been shot at, do you think? I even gave a couple a good chance just using my 357 pistol [/QUOTE]
