An AR-15 or Mini-14 firing 223 ammo from an extended magazine would have probably saved them from those painful and extended anti-rabies treatment.

Expect an executive order in the morning banning bobcats.
And rabies.

So the next thing I expect to read about is how the wife is going to be prosecuted for having an unregistered handgun.

They managed to pin a rabid bobcat to the ground?! Wow. It's amazing what Americans can do.
Sorry the guy has to get the shots. But he'll have great scars and a story for the grandkids.

Oh yeah. He keeps his man card and gets a 'story' punch on his ticket.

Wow!
Normally the only way you could get attacked by a Bobcat is if you were fast enough to run and catch it.
We caught one in our big humane trap last year...it was WILD! I suspect it was what had been pilfering chickens.
BTW.. look at the interesting Bobcat image my friend caught with his game camera.

I have to say that of all the wild animals I’ve ever encountered, bobcats make me the most uneasy. They just aren’t afraid of people.

Great pic. Living at the end of a dirt road in the back country of East San Diego County for the last 30 years I have a few bobcat stories of my own. But after reading this story I’ll save them for another day as they just don’t seem to compare.
