Three little Bobcats

I rarely catch Stalker on motion camera…but yesterday was no ordinary day. It was raining cats and dogs.

Camera fogged up tad bit.

totally soaked cat. :rofl:

Clumsy came out this morning. Should name him Bounty because he always bounds off with his loit.

I think he’s going to be a really big cat.

Also known kills I’ve found in my workshop…I believe it is them.

Douglas squirrel and rabbit tails. The rabbit was literately torn to shreds like couple cats was pulling on it from multiple directs.

And of course dead rat was found too…which I might add I haven’t seen singly beady pair of eyes in a month or so around feeding plots.

Gimp…I believe it was him is most definitely expanding his turf.

Looks like they’re hunting on their own now. Might be time soon?

I’m just putting out two thighs a day now…it’s more like a snack for em if they’re in the area.

Clumsy did come out day before yesterday and taken both pieces…have to check the video to see if anyone else came out. Gimp did came out today and taken first piece.

But couple days ago there were about 6 or 7 sighting near or around the post.

Now having said that I don’t know how far they’re roaming. Adult male cat will have territory of 20 square miles while female will have around 5.

Also it seems Clumsy and Gimp come in and out from the north while Stalker still comes in and out on old path. I wonder is she kicked out the boys. :rofl:

Either way, even if they’re are hunting on there own putting couple pieces out and calling em allows me to monitor them and check there health status.

LOL knowing my luck they won’t show up.

But I have thought about it before. Releasing a chicken but decided it one think giving em chicken and training them to kill chickens.

As far as I know…they haven’t figured out what I’m giving em is chicken. :wink:

Oh yeah, true. Don’t teach them to prey on livestock. Wild game keeps them out of trouble.

First rule of the feeding post; you don’t talk about the feeding post!

I bought 2 16 pound turkeys, cut out the breast and cut up the rest of those for cats and had remaining parts in plastic bag on the patio…bears stolen it right off my grill table. Sadly my back camera batteries died so I move front camera out back. Otherwise I would have caught them robbing me.

Looks like maybe you had meat odor on your hands when you set your game cam.

Grok says
bears hate pine sol but it does not bother bobcats.

Grok and Gemini and Copilot all say
ammonia really really bothers bears but has little effect on bobcats (though they ar not fond ofit.)

They aren’t bothering me at all. Hell they hung out all day here. The cats were intimidated though. It took Clumsy about 5 tries to gain enough courage to come out and get his lunch today. And then other two Gimp and Stalker got theirs once Clumsy made it. :rofl:
