PREDATOR ATTACKED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT...It Struck Without Warning

[@cindygregg7557]

Dutch, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for keeping YOUR FAMILY and property safe! If that means eliminating pit bulls or wild life that’s on your property, then you do what you have to do! Anyone that complains because of you protecting your family needs an attitude adjustment. IF the owner(s) cared about those pits, they would NOT be running loose on your property!

[@barrydrennan4524]

As having spent about 80% of my 45 years of life in the woods, hunting, fishing, camping, etc... also having spent time with cats (a pet half bobcat half domestic cat) cats in general do not leave claw marks when they step. Unless it's having to get traction in a very slippery spot they retract their claws. Dogs and coyotes can't retract their claws so they will always leave the claws mark. Hope that helps.

easiest way to tell the difference between canine and feline tracks is if you see claws in the tracks cats claws retract unless needed as its their defensive weapon dogs you will see the claws

U r right 👍

Yep...agreed

[@MaMaGrizzlie1956]

That's the truth a cat can retract it's claws unless it wants them out where a dog cannot if you see claw marks in that track it is a dog or a K-9 of some kind if you don't see any claw marks then it is feline

Our son and his wife went to an auction over the last weekend and bought two stuffed and mounted bobcats and they are identical to the one you have. The ears and coloring , everything matches. Even the ears didn't have those horned looking hairs in top of the ears they were missing on both. Exactly the same size . Yours is a Bobcat Dutch!!!.

[@mikegroves4450]

That is a large print for a cat. They use trees for many of their attacks. Best way to find one is to use a call and spotlight at night. Be sure and spotlight the trees also. The eye shine is usually how you spot them.

That's not a bobcat, but it's definitely a cat with a bobbed tail. The main reason is you can tell from the more house cat like face and more intense, strong tabby markings versus the spotted pattern and lighter coat seen in bobcats.

Definitely a Bobcat. They are smaller in the south, than the north. I saw one only once on our 40 acres in Oregon, 2x in one day, 11 am at one end of the property travelling southward, never thought I'd see it again and then again about 3:30 (November so it was dark early) at the other end of the property, going easterly. Also, they will watch you after they have killed prey.

@@katherineleonowski7289 that’s why I brought that up bobcats are territorial as well, they come out in the daytime as much as night. There are about 8 on the five miles of trail I walk and when the birds get I look around because the bobcats are near. Birds will also do that for hawks and owls. They will chase owls away.
