A guy at work lives on Hickman Road just west of the interstate in Des Moines. He showed me pictures of one in his driveway the other day.

I knew a guy trapping in the city of Burlington IA that caught 3 bobcats in coon sets a couple years before Iowa had a bobcat season.

Bobcats are known for eating domestic and feral cats.

Rabid.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Would have been cooler if it was a cougar. Leave a glass of wine out, maybe it will return.

I wish I had the know how to put a video on here.
I caught 3 in the edge of my yard this year.
2 big Tom’s and a adult female.
I’ve done lots of rabbit habitat work around the house so I can turn the beagles out and have a quick race. Those jokers keyed in on the rabbits. It cost them.

It sure looks like good cat country around your place.

I saw one I my living room. It was on my Tv . It looked so real I stared at it. It starred back. It moved I blinked. Got a drink of water and it ran behind a rock. It was sooo real . Then the lady ran it off trying to get someone to bundle the car and home insurance so I went to bathroom . When I came back it was back trying to catch something . I eased back in my chair hoping not to spook it. But Joe Namath came on selling Medicare. I gave up went outside and lit smoker for girls hamburgers
