What do rattlesnake paw prints look like, i knew those bastards had been hiding those feet’s.
I live on a lake in a rural area in SC. A few years ago one of my neighbors had a Bobcat try to get in her house. She and her 14 year-old daughter held the door closed while it tried to claw it’s way in. Dad got home just in time (from a hunting trip) and was able to take care of it. Autopsy results concluded it was rabid.
Why not a 500 nitro side by side just encase a mad bull elephant charges you.
Is that what they're calling it now? Modern slang, it's just so inventive.
I must be getting old, I just can't keep up with it all, lol.
A family of four live on my airpark.
Pretty brazen too, a few weeks ago they walked across the runway and one stopped in the middle of it and sat and licked itself for about three minutes without a care in the world.
Now you’re channeling Gahan Wilson.
Oh man, yeah I don’t think you’d know before those fangs were chomped down in your flesh.
I was camping down in Big Bend NP one time. Early in the morning I stopped by the road to take some photos, and I’m sorta standing there admiring my camping and photography prowess, and all of a sudden “SCREEEEEEEOOWWWWWL!” A bobcat launched out of the brush not 10 feet from where I was and bounded off through the desert at top speed. I mean it took me a solid 60 seconds to be able to move again, and probably 10 minutes to get my heart rate back to normal. I had no idea he/she was sitting right there. I came close to needing fresh underwear, buddy buddy buddy.
Are you boys sure that was not a cougar? ;^)
Same thing happend in Greenfield MA couple years ago. Finally someone caught it under a garbage can (during an attack) and it turned out to be rabid...
I once asked my husband why our dog kept licking himself...he smiled and said.....because he can....:O)
Boy that’s a big cat. I see how people can mistake them for mountain lions.
The guy said it “bit my wife by the mailbox”. I’ve heard it called a lot of different names but I’ve never heard it called a “mailbox”.
We have bobcats, bobpossums, bobskunks, bobcoons, bobcougars and bobbears, oh, and bobfoxes and bobcoyotes.
This should solve the problem
“Are you boys sure that was not a cougar? ;^)”
Well... the Florida panther was cross bred with a cougar due to low population several years ago.
We have bobcats down below our house. I guess they hide and lick their chops when we’re outside. - Our dogs boss the bobcats; and our cat, the slasher, would “cut” them. The bobcats run in packs down by the river, and our dogs run down the hill barking in a very loud, low, authoritarian sort of way.
truthfully I have hunted all my life and I have only seen one of those cats, in the wild. It ran across the road in front of my pickup. Jumped upon a fence post looked around and then ran off. It was one beautiful animal.
Oh, wasn’t it Wilson that drew the cartoon years ago in playboy with the guy and his wife standing next to the dead elephant and her saying i’ll never say anying about you carrying that elephant gun again.
