Wow, just wow. I see these things from time to time here in Dallas, we have several around local mountain bike trails. Never heard of any agressions from them.
That sucker comes in my garage and goes for me I’ll hit him with more than a 4x4, that part of the house is full of all sorts of pointy and hammery things to smack an animal with. If I did use a 4x4 it would my truck.
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.
Maybe rabid?
