It didnt seem to bother them either that I was there, I think they are still out there, three total tonight, sometimes up to eight or nine of them

It is, found larger cat tracks the other day, im thinking bob cat. We do have a number of those around, just have not seen any around the house yet. The last one I seen was out bow hunting near a swamp a few years back. Talk about something beautiful

Beautiful...!

I watched a doe the other night walk across my yard to my sunflower seed bird feeder.  She drained it dry...

Squirrels are not tolerated on my feeders but deer are always welcome. The next day I put out a few pounds of shell corn for the deer but the Cardinals went into "frenzy" mode on the corn.

Nice photos.
I saw a female bobcat and her cub last fall while bow hunting Missouri. First time I have ever seen one. They had the squirrels going nuts. The cub kept climbing the trees after the squirrels, it looked like it only weighed about 5 pounds. Once the female saw me she started making noises I have never heard before.

Thats a great pic Bjorn, looks like something my cat would do. Bobcats are so stealthy, the pne I seen spotted me and we looked at each other for 15min I looked away for less then a minute and it was gone.
