Yea, the bobcats around here have been killing housecats (one/two killed two of my hens, so no more free-ranging) One crossed the road with a dead white housecat a couple weeks ago. hmm.png

Looked like it had a vole or a wharf rat in its face.

 

 

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

The coyote's clean up on the house cats around here.

 

My mother is from North Mississippi and house cats are so rare down there, that a person could make a mint on a tractor trailer load of them.

With a rack like that this early he is going to be a nice young buck.  Did you guys have a hard winter?  I can see his ribs and he looks really thin, not sure if this is a normal look for your area,  but it caught my eye once I got past the antlers.  Love the deer stand.

So, watching a movie last night, well it was actually light, because the days are getting longer now. And I hear the chickens in their coop *bock bocking* so I run outside, see nothing, then my moms like, "Look a skunk!" and there was a crazy skunk wandering around in the field... rabies? Glad the dogs weren't outside th.gif

This time of year it was probably looking for a mate.  If it was acting crazy it may have just been an over hormonal teenage skunk.

7.5 acres in the western Catskill foothills of garden, blueberries, 4 cats plus 20 Black Stars, 12 RIR, 7 EE's, 4 Brown leghorns, 4 BR, a SS and 6 guinea keats,  including one very happy EE rooster.

Yes, that's what I thought too. It was probably desperate for food also, it was snuffling around. 

 

AND, since it's that time of the year, just 3 hours ago (right now here it is 4:31pm) I was driving by this field and, there standing there was a black bear.... first one I've ever seen lol.png It didn't startle me, but it was out in a open field next to a house, making it's way to there...

I love seeing all of the pictures on this thread and reading the stories folks have. I've been wanting a game cam for a while now, and it looks like we might actually be getting one in the near future! Yay! Gotta look around and see what's available and what features they have. We've had a bad raccoon problem where my hens are, and I'd very much like to put something up and see exactly what kind of predator activity there is coming through there.

 

Already forgot who had the bobby run in front of them on the highway, but - I had a coyote run in front of my car on a highway the other night. It surprised me, because it was such an unexpected sight so far down in a city area (we have them aplenty in the mountains and rural areas) but then, I wasn't so surprised when I thought about it. Deer come down into peoples' yards and fields all the time.
