Damn that sucks... you think the bobcat would have a good chance of staying alive if he stayed in the cage and fought back.
Yeah but one long couger arm reaching in smacking a whole bobcat around. Im sure he smacked around the cage alittle first and made the bobcat confused to say the least.

I would be more afraid of a cougar than a bear.
Yeah I guess. Ive never seen either in the wild face to face so I cant say what Id worry about more. My girlfriends dad told me stories of when he used to go up by okanagan and hunt deer in the snow. He told me of numerous times where he would track around in a circle and find out that theres couger tracks stalking him, walking right in his footsteps. Kinda freaky. Reminds you that your not at the top of the food chain out there. Definetly have the potential to be though!

So today I go to check one of my bobcat cages that is under a rock overhang on a steeep slope and see a cougar bounding away. No mistake, big cat, long tail, easy to see on the snow covered hillside as it ran away. All I have with me is my .22 pistol. Holy S@#&! I look at my cage (one of Mercer Lawing's) and it is on its side partially open and looking trashed. Then I see a bloody lump with spots. Crap! So the Cougar mauled my trap and dragged out and ate the bobcat. Not much left of the bobcat pelt and the head had one eye bulging out so I knew the skull was crushed too. I'm kinda pissed that I lose the bobcat; I'll have to write to Mercer and complain that his traps aren't Cougar-proof, LOL. But seriously that has to be one of the coolest things that I've seen in the outdoors while by myself. Then I realize that cat had to have heard me crunching down the ridge for quite a while. Did he know I was human by the noises I made and stay-put?. He either thought he could stay there and hide or he was planning to defend his kill from me. I'm glad he changed his plan and bolted AWAY from me. Also glad I told my Golden Retriever to wait for me up on the logging road. I know some of you won't believe me so I'll try to post picturesId being hanging a full beaver in that tree and patiently wait....he will be back
