The deer covered with leaves was a Bobcat most likely. I had one do that to a bow kill doe one morning. I put a RamCat through him too.On the scared coon dogs, I got nothing.

I've seen that too. I shot a doe one afternoon, heard it crash about 75 yards from me. It was extremely cold that afternoon and would be in the teens that night. I walked to where I thought it would be and didn't see it right away (it was dark by then) so I decided to come back the next day and take care of it. At that time we were working hard to get the population in check so all I really was after was the jawbone. Anyways, next day went and was puzzled that I couldn't see it right off. I went back to where I shot it and blood trailed it to about 10 feet before I saw part of it. It was completely covered in leaves with a few bites gone from a hindquarter. I later read that bobcats do this. I was happy for it to have a doe and not some quail or turkey.

Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
