Today at lunch time I came into my house, heated some venison chili and sat in my chair to eat it. I looked out the window to my left and there was a large cat looking back at me as he stood on top of my woodpile. He very calmly walked off and then walked back to the woods 20 yards away, exactly in the same tracks he walked in to get to the woodpile.

Sussex County has a TON more bobcats than most people realize. They are a real pest here on Hamburg Mtn.... it's difficult to keep them out of coyote snares! In fact, sometimes impossible!

If only F&G would see the light and allow a trapper to keep a couple.

What is that other traffic trail to the left of the cat tracks. An over head power line maybe or tracks (rabbit/squirrel) to a bird feeder.

Rabbits going under woodpile. No birdfeeders, they draw in the bears (Yep, even in the snow and below 0 temps our bears are on the move!)
