So i bow hunted from the ground today, which I do pretty often. As I was sitting there I hear what I thought to be cats fighting in the distance. I listen closer and it doesn’t really sound like fighting, more like calling to each other. after about 15 mins of hearing this it stops. About 20 mins later I hear something trotting towards me, I slowly turn and it’s a bobcat. He gets really close so I say “hey” lol the thing just stops. He states right at me. I start moving around and then he sits on his ass like a dog would do. After about 15 seconds he slowly stands up and turns and walks off. About 2 mintues after that another comes by, this one just trots on through never stopping. Anyways if my dang phone wasn’t dead from sitting on alder it would have mad some awesome film. I walked off where the first one stopped and it was 11 feet. Were they mating or fighting? Anyone had an experience like this?

I have no experience with mating bobcats. Sorry I can't help. But cool encounter.

My dad had one try to attack him one time while turkey hunting. He was using a mouth call. As he described it, "God just tapped me on the shoulder and told me to turn around quick". Said he never saw or heard anything in the leaves. He turned quick and brought the gun up as he did. He shot the bobcat in the face, in the air, mid pounce. Basically on the end of the barrel. I guess it was just jumping at the sound if what it thought would be a turkey.

I shot one in the face with a turkey load last spring. Never seen anything like that though...... or I would have shot two of them in the face.

Yea I’ve seen plenty of bobcats over the years but not like this. It’s was awesome! Crazy thing, yesterday evening I was sitting on my front porch and heard those same noises they were making the other day.

Red fox as well. That’s about as screwed up as the football program at UT. Yep, turkeys are disappearing...let’s protect everything that eats them. Bunch of dumbasses.

Turkeys aren't cute and cuddly like bobcats and foxes.
