Truly it is sad when dumb humans who love bambi chase away preditors trying to hunt and eat and balance the food chain. We have done enough harm to natire, this is just stupid. Do not fear though, the scavangers will consume the deer and nothing truly goes to waste in nature.
From the video, "...but unfortunately, he was too late to save the deer." So I say, "Save the deer?" And you're talking to me about syntax? Bwahahaahahaaaa.....ok, whatever there, snowflake.
Please stop fluffing your own ego, snowflake. You didn't understand my point, are making a point of your own that was not mine, and are now trying to argue about it. Take care.
Why would he try to save the deer? Do you how much effort that poor Bobcat had to put into a successful hunt? Any good hunter should have recognized and respected it.
Good to see that others know what they are talking about! I'm Thankful for People Like You, that understand, and have Respect for Nature, and "Other Hunters!!!" Good on ya Sarah!
Kiss my ass you Wimps! It’s Nature ,A bobcat Has to eat just like you and I do! I am a hunter, and I’ve perfected my skill with high-powered rifles, and I can make kill shots at 600 yards. With my 300 magnum. Right through the heart,So the animal doesn’t suffer. It’s dead before it here’s the report of my rifle at that range.I was only stating my respect for the bobcat, because he is a Hunter too...
Mike Mcdonnell a murderer? Okay you snowflake don’t start crying holy f*ck grow some balls you pussy.. it’s called SURVIVAL! meanwhile you probably eat your steak from the supermarket and haven’t ever killed your food
why disturb the bobcat? yall probably hunted it and killed it later on. there are tens of millions of deer, not so many bobcats. let them do their thing.
This is why I hate sheltered babies.Growing up in the backwoods by the Rockies this is normal. It's nature. If delicate pansies like this guy & his brother can't handle it - coming across as delicate & effeminate as preteen girls - then they should stay out of nature & live in a city. They're a pest. Not nature.
what is unfortunate is that that bobcat worked hard for that meal and was chased off. who knows how long it will take for it to find another opportunity to eat. probably had kittens depending on that meal too. unfortunate indeed
right, Deer literally exist to be eaten. No senses, no defenses, no offenses, just a crazy reproductive rate and tons of easy to acquire meat. Thank you god for providing such an easy and bountiful supply of protein
@@majormindflayer7614 I mean you're half right but they do have defenses. Good nose, good hearing and they're obviously faster which is why predators have to sneak up on them but they are bountiful for sure. So much that they're a cars worst enemy lol.
I don't disagree... but I have to say, Bambi was a movie, not a TV show. I do not know these "reruns" off which you speak. Also, it was a heck of a book.
A predator that doesn't bother people and rarely bothers livestock takes one young wild deer and that's unfortunate? This is why we have such a messed up predator/prey balance in most of North America.
Jason Patterson you're right! People need to leave predators alone. How is it unfortunate that a bobcat killed a deer when the deer population is too high anyway? The more deer in a given area the more car accidents, injuries and deaths you're gonna have due to the deer. My cousin works for an auto insurance company and says deer cause thousands of accidents every year in the United States alone. That's not counting other parts of the world with high deer populations due to lack of natural predators.
Actually, mule deer populations out west are in decline and have been for a number of years. Biologists have been concerned about that but aren't sure of the reason...but most likely it's probably too many people. So you're point about there being too many deer is incorrect. Secondly, would you say the same thing about me if I shot a deer and posted a video about it?
You're assuming he doesn't eat the deer he harvests. And what do you think will happen to the bobcats and other predators when their prey goes "extinct"??
@@manhdo5841 lol, always the rhino's, you liberal shills always lump legitimate hunters in with poachers, please do some research and educate yourself. Your assumption that people shoot deer for sport and not food is wrong, we put a lot of time and energy into ensuring a clean ethical kill and I'm yet to meet anyone who kills merely for sport (and if I did they'd be sorry).
Why would an adult man act like it was so sad for the deer? The only sad thing is that the cat worked hard to be successful and was run off after killing it's prey. It's a pansy snowflake world these days.
Why worry about "saving" the deer? This is the way that nature works. A faster or more alert deer would have remained in the gene pool. Bobcats need to eat too. I'm impressed. I didn't think a Bobcat could take down a deer so easily but then I didn't think an Eagle could take down a deer either.
This guy makes this sound like a tragedy. This is fucking nature. I’m glad that bobcats are capable of controlling the deer population because coyotes don’t do shit around where I live because we don’t get much snow anymore. I don’t see why people can’t just let nature do it’s thing, it’s not like bobcats are endangering the entire population.
@@zack_demonic doesn’t make any difference anyway, they’re still one of the most numerous mammalian predators in The Americas, I don’t like them either but if they didn’t have those debuffs they’d be out of control lol
Jake Landshark Its because of their size . That's why people are surprised that they occasionally take a deer. But this is very rare. Most of their diet is rabbit , squirrel and other rodents.
OF course! I saw one the other day in a minivan at the Arby's drive through ordering a bunch of roast beef sandwiches for its kittens that were in the back seat....and they were all in the approved child seats so that was a smart, and legal bobcat mom!
Badass bobcat! I wouldn't have thought they went after deer, that was cool, hope your brother left the deer there so the cat could come back and eat some of its hard won dinner.
@Primitive Pathways I'm pretty sure that in one of your earlier comments you wrote that the scavengers ate the carcass, so the bobcat did not get it. Which one was it?
Good video Billy, there's nothing unfortunate about not being able to save the deer though. That's a valuable, hard-earned meal for a bobcat. Some must die so that others may live. That's simply the way of life and it always has been.
Unfortunately he was too late to save the Deer? Its sad he interrupted the Bobcats Dinner. Its best to allow Nature to take its course. I hope he left the Deer carcass for the Bobcat to enjoy after he left? I mean, the Deer was dead and the Bobcat Did harvest it as that is what they do brother. Enjoyed the Video by the way. Thank you very much for posting it.
What is this nonsense about him saying it is unfortunate that the deer died? Dude, bobcat has gotta eat! For an ecosystem to function properly, there must be a sufficient number of predators to keep prey animal numbers within control. All a deer has to do to eat is lower its head and open its mouth. Bobcats have gotta work hard to survive. Don’t interfere with that.
By chasing the bobcat off, you made it kill something else, or many other things to replace this meal. So, by intervening, you caused more harm. Way to go.
People get so hostile about wild wolves in Wisconsin. They say they are eating "all the deer" because they aren't acting like backyard pets anymore but are wary like they are supposed to be. Also we have a big epidemic of chronic wasting disease or CWD in deer which is like mad cow disease for deer and itsnpotentially contagious to humans who eat it is really seriously affecting the deer as well as people who depend on deer hunting to get through the winter. However the areas where there are healthy populations of wolves are the ONLY areas where CWD hasn't spread because they take down the weak and the sick. The DNR has been worse than useless and haven't even tried to contain the epidemic and now it has spread into Iowa. They are much more involved in trying to demonize the wolves and open up hunting season on them again. Former Gov. Walker put his flunkies in there and they dodnaway with most of the scientist positions so they wouldn't be contradicted with facts when they made their plans. They cater to the very worst elements in so called hunting. Wisconsin has a long history of partnership between hunters and environmentalists but its the most sadistic assholesmwhonrule the roost here. You wouldn't believe what they allow people to do to almost any injured small wild animal including feral cats with hounds and to hounds in the name of training and hunting. Then for every hound they get killed by putting them in harms way near a mapped wolf den with pups or sending them after a black bear to maul and get mauled they are reimbursed 2,000 dollars in taxpayer money per dead hound if killed by a bear or wolf. Funny how those numbers keep going up isn't it ???
Why didn’t you just let the bobcat eat it’s dinner in peace? It takes a lot of his energy for him to kill that deer. If the bobcat died it’s your fault.

This is NOT Unfortunate, this is Nature, and the Bobcat Deserves his Meal! (And could be feeding little ones)... I am a Hunter, and I Respect other Hunter's Rights! This Hunter is Exceptional, and Probably worked really hard to pull this off! That's the Problem, People DO NOT Understand Nature, and Screw Up Everything by, Making Misinformed Videos Like this, and Building their Houses in Wild Animal Habitat, and then complain when the Deer, are eating their Plants etc... Educate Yourselves to the Level of Objectivity People, and then we can have an Intellectual Discussion on the Subject! I can see that there are others who Understand, and Agree with me! I am so Thankful for People Like You, PCL Outdoors & Bushcraft! You have your head on straight, and know what you are talking about!!!
This guy's got to be straight from the suburbs of some major metropolis, raised up on latte's and smart phones. Save the deer? Why on God's green earth would you do that? So the Bobcat and her kittens can starve to death? Deer are common and bountiful; Bobcat's are rare and fragile. Leave nature to her course.
Why would he interfere with nature? That was not very bright of him! I can understand if someone was poking an animal with a stick or tormenting an animal. But don't interrupt the natural order of what takes place in the wild....
@Primitive Pathways I'm pretty sure that in one of your earlier comments you wrote that the scavengers ate the carcass, so the bobcat did not get it. Which one was it? If the cat did come back and ate it and you guys have the pictures, please make antoher video, I'm sure a lot of people would love to see it and that it'd have a lot of views.
What the heck? That bobcat probably risked its life for catch that deer and you just chase it off because it’s keeping itself alive? How would you like it if you were starving and when you finally got a meal someone just came up to you and took it away? You’d be really angry that someone had taken away your chance to survive at all!
No he left the deer. Within a day or two there was nothing but bones left. The scavengers picked the deer clean so quickly that it didn't even get to the point where it smelled rotten!
Primitive Pathways did you really mean to say "save the deer". If you didn't, please repost something for everyone to read what you meant. Do you even know how that sounds
nature also goes to the bigger scarier scavengers like bears or mountain lions (not actual scavengers i know) Wolf kills a deer and a bear smells it a bear would scare off the wolf and eat what it wants and leave the rest for the bugs
You're a child in a grown man's body. Save the deer? This is how nature works mate. There are millions of deer in the US. The bobcat made a great kill.
What an awesome event to capture on a trail cam! Love it..amazing hunters these bobcats! I don't find this unfortunate at all..it's well earned and fortunate for the bobcat and hopefully his kittens too
No, the camera is set to take a 3-shot burst of photos when it detects movement, then it pauses for a few seconds before it takes another burst of photos.
Your interruption may have caused another death. Who knows what other animal the bobcat had to kill because of that. But to be honest, I may have react the same way. Strange, when watching the clip, I feel sorry for the deer and want it to escape and at the same time I'm all with the bobcat. Seems like two souls are within me - one is prey and one is predator.
That's true...I can feel for both animals. Being a hunter I understand where the bobcat is coming from. But I also feel for the deer. It's a weird tangle of emotions.
Glad to see others respect nature and understand the importance of predators in keeping the entire population of deer healthy and strong. So now what? Vultures or coyotes get a free meal. Smh
Why would you even suggest that your friend should have saved the deer and interfere with the circle of life ? Do we have to change your channel name to progressive pathways ?
Awesome attack and kill video. Proof positive that a 25 pound bobcat can take down a 50 pound fawn. Everything has to eat in nature so i don't blame the bobcat for the attack. A young deer also isn't always as alert and swift to dodge nor strong enough to break free so I don't blame the deer either. for its demise It's just how nature works. But it does point out the abject cruelty and lack of compassion any predatory killer has for its prey. As you noted, it takes minutes for a deer to bleed out and die due to punctures and bites to the neck. A deer needs to bleed out about 3 pints of blood in order to die. I say this simply to point out that a vital zone bullet from a hunter's gun kills far more humanely than predators in nature ever do. I'd be willing to bet a lot of those saying let the bobcat kill and eat the deer would be completely against a hunter killing the same deer. To the deer it doesn't matter all that much; it dies either way. What this video proves is that controlling the deer population via hunting isn't any more traumatic or unethical than simply allowing nature's predators to do the same job. Thanks for sharing a great video!
Last deer season as I walked back to the house from my deer stand in the evening, I heard two animals, about 40 yards away, running. I figured it was a buck chasing a doe. that was, until the doe ran to about 7 yards from me and slammed on the breaks to turn. It ran up the hill into the field where I then heard the bobcat let out a bone chilling scream from about 15 yards out. One of the scariest moments I've had in the woods.
" Unfortunately he was too late to save the deer. " Why would he want to do that ? It's nature and nature appears at times to be cruel. But the bobcat needs to eat and it eats herbivores like deer. That's the way it is. Would we feel sorry for the defenceless grass that the deer eats ?
How was this 'unfortunate'? The bobcat was doing what bobcats do.
he is unable shoot down the road.
Pixtol why so hostile?
Truly it is sad when dumb humans who love bambi chase away preditors trying to hunt and eat and balance the food chain. We have done enough harm to natire, this is just stupid. Do not fear though, the scavangers will consume the deer and nothing truly goes to waste in nature.
if its the other way around, a matured deer kill a baby bob cat, its stil unfortunate.
and the deer is serving its sole purpose on this earth - feeding predators.
Bobcats gotta eat too. Hope he left the deer for the cat to come back too.
He did leave the deer. Scavengers returned and picked it clean within a day or two.

This is NOT Unfortunate, this is Nature, and the Bobcat Deserves his Meal! (And could be feeding little ones)... I am a Hunter, and I Respect other Hunter's Rights! This Hunter is Exceptional, and Probably worked really hard to pull this off! That's the Problem, People DO NOT Understand Nature, and Screw Up Everything by, Making Misinformed Videos Like this, and Building their Houses in Wild Animal Habitat, and then complain when the Deer, are eating their Plants etc... Educate Yourselves to the Level of Objectivity People, and then we can have an Intellectual Discussion on the Subject! I can see that there are others who Understand, and Agree with me! I am so Thankful for People Like You, PCL Outdoors & Bushcraft! You have your head on straight, and know what you are talking about!!!
This guy's got to be straight from the suburbs of some major metropolis, raised up on latte's and smart phones. Save the deer? Why on God's green earth would you do that? So the Bobcat and her kittens can starve to death? Deer are common and bountiful; Bobcat's are rare and fragile. Leave nature to her course.
For those who don’t know, northern large male bobcat can easily do this.
And shame on whoever fucking robbed this bobcat of it’s hard work.
You may find it sad, but as the great Steve Irwin use to say, "That's natures way."
Why does the commentator think it is unfortunate that the Bobcat killed its prey? And why interfere with a predator going about earning its living.
Why would he save the deer. You know bobcats have to eat too
Hey tree hugger, This is not sad or unfortunate. The Bobcat awesomely earned this meal. He can't go to McDonalds like you.
Why would he interfere with nature? That was not very bright of him! I can understand if someone was poking an animal with a stick or tormenting an animal. But don't interrupt the natural order of what takes place in the wild....
Keep this in mind when choosing a skid steer. Bobcat will always outperform Deere.
Natural selection at work.. Cat earned the kill..
What part of Colorado is this in? It looks just like an area I hunt where I got a bobcat on my trail can.
and why did your brother think he should save the deer? Fool
Unfortunately? Bobcats have to eat, too. Circle of life, dude.
The dude's brother need the meat more than the bobcat. Poor animal worked so hard for its dinner and was taken. Dawned
There aren’t many Bobcats, but there are many Deer notice where the deer was eating there wasn’t much to eat, needing a reduction
Bob cats are capable of taking down smaller dear easily. It gets better at it every time it is successful. This cat looks full grown and healthy.
Where in CO did this take place?
Bob cat gota eat too!
That cat worked hard to earn that deer, and you took it away from it, that's what's unfortunate, not the deer being dead
Well really he should’ve just left the deer for the cat.
My brother actually did and the bobcat returned to finish off its kill. He got trail camera pics of it when it came back.
@Primitive Pathways I'm pretty sure that in one of your earlier comments you wrote that the scavengers ate the carcass, so the bobcat did not get it. Which one was it?
If the cat did come back and ate it and you guys have the pictures, please make antoher video, I'm sure a lot of people would love to see it and that it'd have a lot of views.
Trying to chase that bobcat was a crime. Now the poor thing probably would have starved to death in winter and will be eaten by coyotes.
This guy acts like this is some kind of tragedy. What....bobcat lives don't matter?
No...they don't!!! HAHAHA!
And your life doesn't matter either!! hahahaha
fucking idiot did do at least let the bobcat eat the deer? waht a piece of shit
What the heck? That bobcat probably risked its life for catch that deer and you just chase it off because it’s keeping itself alive? How would you like it if you were starving and when you finally got a meal someone just came up to you and took it away? You’d be really angry that someone had taken away your chance to survive at all!
If someone tried to run me away from my dinner, I'd just take the plate and slam it into their face so they couldn't eat it either! Hahaha!
Did he take the deer or leave it for the critters?
No he left the deer. Within a day or two there was nothing but bones left. The scavengers picked the deer clean so quickly that it didn't even get to the point where it smelled rotten!
He did not catch the Bobcat returning on the trail cam?
Primitive Pathways did you really mean to say "save the deer". If you didn't, please repost something for everyone to read what you meant. Do you even know how that sounds
Should have left it. Why do these people get involved?? The deer was already dead.
Unfortunately? Isn't this part of nature? Poor Bobcat, all that hard work and he doesn't even get to eat its deer cake.
nature also goes to the bigger scarier scavengers like bears or mountain lions (not actual scavengers i know) Wolf kills a deer and a bear smells it a bear would scare off the wolf and eat what it wants and leave the rest for the bugs
I'm a Coloradan. Where (approximately) did this take place?
WTF? Mr & Mrs Bobcat & Family have to eat too!
^..^~~
You're a child in a grown man's body. Save the deer? This is how nature works mate. There are millions of deer in the US. The bobcat made a great kill.
What an awesome event to capture on a trail cam! Love it..amazing hunters these bobcats! I don't find this unfortunate at all..it's well earned and fortunate for the bobcat and hopefully his kittens too
He has a timelapse camera constantly running?
No, the camera is set to take a 3-shot burst of photos when it detects movement, then it pauses for a few seconds before it takes another burst of photos.
Your interruption may have caused another death. Who knows what other animal the bobcat had to kill because of that.
But to be honest, I may have react the same way. Strange, when watching the clip, I feel sorry for the deer and want it to escape and at the same time I'm all with the bobcat. Seems like two souls are within me - one is prey and one is predator.
That's true...I can feel for both animals. Being a hunter I understand where the bobcat is coming from. But I also feel for the deer. It's a weird tangle of emotions.
“Unfortunately too late to save the deer?” Sucks he didn’t let the bobcat have dinner. That’s the unfortunate part…
What is unfortunate is when d-bag hunters kill bobcats for trophys.
It's so crazy to me that an animal that isn't that much bigger than a house cat can take down deer.
What is unfortunate is this video was uneventful
So did your brother leave the deer there so the bobcat could return and finish his meal?
Is that in northern New Mexico?
why your brother interupted the hunt?
Unfortunately?
He didn’t fire a shot, and he’s got a deer. How is that unfortunate?
Lets cry about the bobcat killing a deer... meanwhile hunts dragonflies with bow and arrow 😭😭😭
exactly! It makes total sense!
Billy is that a lynx? The tail looks long for a bobcat… just wondering
Bobcats gotta eat too.
It hunts just like a mountain lion. It lies in wait and ambushes pray from behind. Its really cool that this was actually documented photographically.
Glad to see others respect nature and understand the importance of predators in keeping the entire population of deer healthy and strong. So now what? Vultures or coyotes get a free meal. Smh
Thanks for the video, most people do not know how powerful a bobcat is, they are tough.
Why would you even suggest that your friend should have saved the deer and interfere with the circle of life ? Do we have to change your channel name to progressive pathways ?
Oh no...not Progressive Pathways! Wait...that DOES have a nice ring to it...
This year I saw a bobcat kill a small elk I couldn't believe my eyes wish I would have had a video camera
Why chase off the Bobcat? It killed the deer to eat it.
Did you leave the deer alone and did the cat retrieve her reward?
I was told that, in winter in the Adirondacks, if bobcats don't manage to get an occasional deer, they are unlikely to make it through the winter.
Save the deer? Why? My man earned that! What's your problem?!
Awesome attack and kill video. Proof positive that a 25 pound bobcat can take down a 50 pound fawn. Everything has to eat in nature so i don't blame the bobcat for the attack. A young deer also isn't always as alert and swift to dodge nor strong enough to break free so I don't blame the deer either. for its demise It's just how nature works. But it does point out the abject cruelty and lack of compassion any predatory killer has for its prey. As you noted, it takes minutes for a deer to bleed out and die due to punctures and bites to the neck. A deer needs to bleed out about 3 pints of blood in order to die. I say this simply to point out that a vital zone bullet from a hunter's gun kills far more humanely than predators in nature ever do. I'd be willing to bet a lot of those saying let the bobcat kill and eat the deer would be completely against a hunter killing the same deer. To the deer it doesn't matter all that much; it dies either way. What this video proves is that controlling the deer population via hunting isn't any more traumatic or unethical than simply allowing nature's predators to do the same job. Thanks for sharing a great video!
Did your brother really want to save the deer?
I've been lucky enough to see bobcats kill whitetail fawn every spring from my back porch in Wyoming. Fortunately.
Last deer season as I walked back to the house from my deer stand in the evening, I heard two animals, about 40 yards away, running. I figured it was a buck chasing a doe. that was, until the doe ran to about 7 yards from me and slammed on the breaks to turn. It ran up the hill into the field where I then heard the bobcat let out a bone chilling scream from about 15 yards out. One of the scariest moments I've had in the woods.
I saw a 25 lb bobcat jump on a 150 lb buck like that one time. He didn't get him, but just the fact that he tried settled the argument for me.
Well versed. Factual information. No crazy intros or obnoxious music.
" Unfortunately he was too late to save the deer. "
Why would he want to do that ?
It's nature and nature appears at times to be cruel.
But the bobcat needs to eat and it eats herbivores like deer.
That's the way it is.
Would we feel sorry for the defenceless grass that the deer eats ?
