Bobcat trophy

[gwillim]

Here's a bobcat with his (her?) trophy. Caught the mouse as I watched from up the road! I was just lucky to have my camera ready. First time I have seen a bobcat for more than a split second. This one walked right up and sat in front of me! Must have been pretty proud of it's catch.

Great photos! Always pays to bring the camera to work. Wish I had of had mine yesterday. Had a lynx sitting at the POC of our cruise.

Bobcats aren't very afraid of humans, back home in Otario there's tons and they rarely run when they see you. Most the times I've seen them in a truck I've came to a complete stop and they just stand there watching you and eventually walk away slowly. Watched one last fall for a few mins as he just sat out in the sun 20yrds away. Beautiful creatures

amazing how good they look alive.

There does seem to be a law of nature that you see the coolest stuff when there's no camera handy.

great shot! id love to see one. never have

[lovemywinchester]

Awesome. Great shot. I fell asleep last fall trying to ambush a deer and was woken up by a cougar. We had a stare down for 5 minutes and he even laid down for a while about 30 ft from me. My camera was in the truck and I kick myself for not bringing it. I think about it all the time. Great shot with the mouse, just like a house cat.

You got my vote for pic of the year

Cool pics and good referance photo for what a bobcat face should look like!

Funny how cats are, most of the time they're incredably elusive and the next one will wander walk right up to you and check you out.

That bobcat mount in the first pic is terrible and TOTALLY not "life like". It's face looks funny. :wink:

The mouse looks scrawny and it's facial expression was really not caught very well by the taxidermist at all; it should have more of a surprised look on it's face. More like this...to "capture" the reality of the situation.

Ha ha, good one. More likely it was just a bad "photoshop" job!
