I live on a side street off a main route in a busy town, but I’m surrounded by woods. So we get wildlife visitors often. Today, we had a bobcat. Actually this was like 30 minutes ago. I heard a one of my pullets make a noise as if it were being swooped up by a hawk, so I ran out to my back deck, and I see a bobcat boppin across the yard. The back deck has no stairs to the backyard, so I was unable to get down quickly. So, I instead yelled in a loud, deep tone. Which confused said bobcat. It wasn’t quite enough so I moved around on the deck to get a better view of the cat while continuing to yell. Bobcat then decided it’s best course of action was to retreat into the woods. I stayed up there just to make sure it didn’t hop back out again, while my mom went outside to keep watch while I grabbed my compound bow. She couldn’t find any of the chickens, but when I went out I found them all in front of the porch. So the score is currently bobcat 0 me 2. But I’m worried about when the bobcat strikes again, will I be able to react fast enough? What if I’m not here? I know how to deter hawks, I know how to trap mink, but what the hell do I do about bobcats? Will the department of wildlife trap and relocate for me? Enclosing them all in is not an option right now, and they have been escaping their fenced in area so they are free range for the time being.
Thanks in advance!
