No pics, but a bobcat on a drag isn’t for the squeamish!! I had the drag pre-hooked around one small little pine that was left in the clearcut and figured even if he got it unhooked somehow the broomsedge would stop him. It worked, but checking traps in the dark and not knowing exactly how much chain he has to play with creates quite the pucker factor!! He missed me by inches when he lunged this morning! I literally felt the wind of his paw!! Forget legs or body, that joker went straight for the headlamp on my head!
Yes, I’m awake and feel like I’ve had about 3 straight energy drinks!!!

I had the same happen with a cat on a long snare in the cat tails. Snare was around his neck but he sure wasn't dead.

I caught a tom cat this weekend on a drag, that was my first cat on drag. It is most certainly a butt puckering experience tracking it down. I underestimated how much slack chain there was. He just missed with a lunge and swipe.

Caught one on a long chain drag and while the hubby was moving in with the catchpole he decided to lunge.
I was standing right where the drag was anchored, some fancy footwork got me out of the way.
Learned a good lesson that day, remember where the drag is anchored.
