When we got back home from our girl's day outing, we were greeted by Dh in the yard with his shotgun, and various neighbors walking around with firearms. Bobcats.
3 nights ago, Dh mentioned that out of the corner of his eye, he saw what he thought was possibly a dog, or coyote at the end of the drive. He didn't replay the video, but I told him to keep watch to see if it headed down our drive. It didn't appear to. The next morning, one of the neighbors mentioned that a bobcat had come to his place, and killed one of his chickens. It didn't walk directly down the drive, but kept back, hidden on the property, but on the same path. We've been on the lookout, but nothing. The threat seemed to have passed.
UNTIL yesterday. The man across the drive, had his horses out, and 2 bobcats were trying to attack them. In broad daylight. He ran out shooting his pistol, but didn't hit them, so it scared them off toward our place. Dh grabbed the shotgun, but they then headed to another neighbor's place. He came running out with his rifle. The bobcats then headed to another neighbor's place where they had killed the chicken. The neighbors were in hot pursuit, but getting winded by now. These neighbors are not exactly real close by, so they had covered quite a bit of terrain. The bobcats kept going, and finally lost the neighbors. The whole neighborhood is on high alert now. Not the first time they've been on alert. For the most part, none of them are gun happy, or careless with firearms, so that's a plus.
