Saw this on Facebook... YOU THINK A BOBCAT CANT KILL A DEER! Something I’ve never seen, and been hunting all my life. It happened while deer hunting yesterday. This Bobcat shot out on Green field, jumped on this little Deer and road it down in about 3 seconds and grabbed it by the throat. I was able to get a shot on cat and killed him but he was still clinched on the deers throat. I shot the deer for a mercy killing. When I got down and went to them the cat was still attached to the throat. Dragged them across the field and still attached. Had to pry the jaws of the cat off the deer 2 hours later and the deers throat was slashed. Awesome experience!
Good Luck and God Bless you and yours,

While living in Virgina I shot a bobcat that was on top of a deer.

Stories in MI of bobcats jumping on the heads of deer and how brutal the attack was.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

A trapper and Game Warden here in Coke County, R.L. Flanagan told me once, "If you are seeing cats in the daylight, you have a cat problem." The young cats will move during the daylight to avoid the mature toms at night...

The young cats will move during the daylight to avoid the mature toms at night... Interesting Bullet. When I run my winter bait locations here in the northern bush using roadkill deer, my primary source, I do not recall ever a cat at night on my cameras. I would say the big toms are later morning, others cats early morning and mid afternoon. Same result from deer trail location cameras as well on travelers thruout the year. My sept-oct bear baits usually have incidental fisher in the morning, and cats early evening. Both hunting the mice, chipmunks, and rabbits around those baits. Neither of those do I get at night. The only consistent night visitor on cameras to either type of bait other than canines is.....marten. Osky
