LOL! i agree. My neighbor suggested that i mount it with a chicken in its mouth, like some people mount them with a pheasant or chuckar. to remind me of how i got him. I thought it was pretty funny

I did. She weighed 18 pounds and was over 26 inches long from nose to tail. i read online average for females is 16 to 17 lbs. so she was just bigger than average.

Took this big guy the other night while i was checking on my birthing mama goat. Cpl weeks earlier he killed my male goat in the middle of the day (including other livestock over a few years) he weighs roughly 48lbs i dont know how he got so big i also heard he killed my neighbors calf.

Probably got so big by eating so well....

Nice. I have never heard of bobcats getting brazen enough to take something as big as a calf or goat but predators are awfully opportunistic.

a univerity study recorded over a period of 6 years that a single bobcat on average will kill 2 yearling white tail deer per year.. it was a neat study.. crazy how much they kill and eat!! waterfowl, turkeys, rabbits, mice and rats, deer, feral cats..etc

He was pretty brazen, i tried scaring him off but he juat wasnt scared of me i took him at maybe 12-15 yards. He just kept trying to go around me to get to the baby goats. Kinda scared me a little.

that sounds strange.. bobcats can be very bold but not that bold. i hope you handled it with some kind of gloves and buried it properly.. it sounds like it had some sort of disease affecting its temperament. their VERY efficient hunters, doesn't make sense for a normal healthy cat to act that way.
