primitivepathwa... This dramatic series of photos shows a bobcat attack and kill a small mule deer. The photos were taken in October, 2016 by my brother's trail camera.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
There is no mercy in mother nature, eat or be eaten is the rule, compassion, remorse, sympathy, are attributes to humans, it is an unbelievable act of brutality what is shown here, but we are looking at it through OUR senses as a human. But our forefathers SOMEHOW gain the feeling and senses of community, compassion and remorse.

Was it an act of Divine, or Mother nature, or some other phenomenal to chose us, is for one to decide, the Fact remain the same, that if it wasn't for The hunting ability of our forefathers, these few lines would NOT be on you Computer screen. A top video, congrats to your brother who captured this educational sequences of photos , not 5 but 10 *s video, and with best regards, from New Zealand, Tony.
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 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.
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....
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 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.
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
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!
@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.
Mother Nature at her finest !! I’ve seen a coyote haul down a fawn & drag the dead fawn back to her baby yotes........Not fun to witness but that is the way Mother Nature works......
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
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.
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
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!!!
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 ???
I get a kick out of people who always talk about how a coyote will win in fight against a coyote. They have never actually witnessed a bobcat attack anything. Just a few years ago while hunting from my deer stand I watched a young female bobcat that was only 12 to 15 pounds absolutely destroy a large male coyote that was 45+ pounds. She came walking up the ridge with a rabbit she had caught and the large male coyote sneaked up behind her and tried to steal her catch. It didn't take but a few seconds for him to realize he just made the mistake of his life. She wrapped her legs around his neck and head, sunk her claws in and went to chewing with her teeth. He tried everything he could to shake her off but all he could do was roll with her and scream. After probably 15 to 20 seconds she finally let go and all you could see was him running away yelping with his head tore all to pieces. Never underestimate any kind of cat. They are Apex predators....
" 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 ?
"Without sharp claws or teeth, there's not much the adult deer could do to help the fawn". Wrong. They could stomp on the cat w their hooves. The cat would flee.
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.
Y’all are fussing and crying about the natural course of nature. If you sit back and think about it this is a better way for the deer to die. Or slowly starve to death the way some do here in the east, where the woods have been replaced with multi-million dollar neighbor hoods. And the predators have been reduced to a all time low. Not to mention the crop damage they do to the farmers. Next time that cat hunts it may be close to a park or a school playground, or your fenced in yard. If you see it happen let Mother Nature do her job, be thankful you got to experience her at work and go on with your business.
Unfortunately you can't just the size of the Bobcat from the photos. I live in a typical residential neighborhood just outside of Phoenix, Arizona proper. One morning I had a Bobcat with three kittens in my front yard. It was the first time I had ever seen a Bobcat in a more or less natural setting. I was stunned by how small it was. It was about the size of a very large housecat.
Every one assumes he chased the cat off after witnessing the kill, WRONG the pictures were captured by a trai cam and when he drove up the cat got scared off. I'm pretty sure the cat came back to claim his kill, if not he's just gonna do it again.
One time my uncle walked into his backyard to check on his pony. His pony was dead. Nearby a bobcat also lied dead. Apparently the bobcat killed the pony but not without the pony getting in a good kick in to the cat.
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!
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.

dont save the deer, then the bobcat would have died from no food, it went through all that effort just to run away scared from a human.
Phyankord good
Phyankord let that cat die HAHAHAHAHA
Deer are about 30 times more common than they used to be before people in many parts of the country... Natural animal control of deer is a good thing
The bobcat came back later and ate it
Why would he save the deer. You know bobcats have to eat too
Natural selection at work.. Cat earned the kill..
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....
Save the deer ? wtf that's something my wife would say :(
Save the deer. Yeah, it's so sad that such a endangered species is dying off like this. You gotta be nuts.
and why did your brother think he should save the deer? Fool
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.
Bob cat gota eat too!
Unfortunately? Bobcats have to eat, too. Circle of life, dude.
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.
Should have left it. Why do these people get involved?? The deer was already dead.
You may find it sad, but as the great Steve Irwin use to say, "That's natures way."
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.
The dude's brother need the meat more than the bobcat. Poor animal worked so hard for its dinner and was taken. Dawned
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.
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
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!
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.
The unfortunate thing is the prick who scared the bobcat off from his lunch.
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
There's nothing "unfortunate" about a bobcat getting a dinner.
WTF? Mr & Mrs Bobcat & Family have to eat too!
^..^~~
Mother Nature at her finest !! I’ve seen a coyote haul down a fawn & drag the dead fawn back to her baby yotes........Not fun to witness but that is the way Mother Nature works......
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
Thanks for the video, most people do not know how powerful a bobcat is, they are tough.
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.
Save the deer? Why? My man earned that! What's your problem?!
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
Are you kidding me.Bobcat didn't murder overpopulated deer.It took patience & energy for rare bobcat to get a meal & he scared him off? U owe him food
What is unfortunate is when d-bag hunters kill bobcats for trophys.
This year I saw a bobcat kill a small elk I couldn't believe my eyes wish I would have had a video camera
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.
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!!!
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 ???
Keep this in mind when choosing a skid steer. Bobcat will always outperform Deere.
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.
I get a kick out of people who always talk about how a coyote will win in fight against a coyote. They have never actually witnessed a bobcat attack anything. Just a few years ago while hunting from my deer stand I watched a young female bobcat that was only 12 to 15 pounds absolutely destroy a large male coyote that was 45+ pounds. She came walking up the ridge with a rabbit she had caught and the large male coyote sneaked up behind her and tried to steal her catch. It didn't take but a few seconds for him to realize he just made the mistake of his life. She wrapped her legs around his neck and head, sunk her claws in and went to chewing with her teeth. He tried everything he could to shake her off but all he could do was roll with her and scream. After probably 15 to 20 seconds she finally let go and all you could see was him running away yelping with his head tore all to pieces. Never underestimate any kind of cat. They are Apex predators....
Hey tree hugger, This is not sad or unfortunate. The Bobcat awesomely earned this meal. He can't go to McDonalds like you.
Bobcats prefer rabbits or small deer but Ive seen footage of them
taking out large seer 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
It's so crazy to me that an animal that isn't that much bigger than a house cat can take down deer.
" 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 ?
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
nice thats some rare pictures never seen any of a bobcat attack right on
"Without sharp claws or teeth, there's not much the adult deer could do to help the fawn". Wrong. They could stomp on the cat w their hooves. The cat would flee.
Well versed. Factual information. No crazy intros or obnoxious music.
The “smaller deer” is a small fawn. Common prey for bobcat. Not surprising at all.
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.
Y’all are fussing and crying about the natural course of nature. If you sit back and think about it this is a better way for the deer to die. Or slowly starve to death the way some do here in the east, where the woods have been replaced with multi-million dollar neighbor hoods. And the predators have been reduced to a all time low. Not to mention the crop damage they do to the farmers. Next time that cat hunts it may be close to a park or a school playground, or your fenced in yard. If you see it happen let Mother Nature do her job, be thankful you got to experience her at work and go on with your business.
Were you trying to be sarcastic? The bobcat has the right eat. If not, then all I have to say is WA...WA... The bobcat cat earned it's dinner.
nope he got run the fuck off lolol
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.
Unfortunately you can't just the size of the Bobcat from the photos. I live in a typical residential neighborhood just outside of Phoenix, Arizona proper. One morning I had a Bobcat with three kittens in my front yard. It was the first time I had ever seen a Bobcat in a more or less natural setting. I was stunned by how small it was. It was about the size of a very large housecat.
Every one assumes he chased the cat off after witnessing the kill, WRONG the pictures were captured by a trai cam and when he drove up the cat got scared off. I'm pretty sure the cat came back to claim his kill, if not he's just gonna do it again.
Unfortunately?
He didn’t fire a shot, and he’s got a deer. How is that unfortunate?
Tik toker just posted one too. Crazy how such a small animal will go for a larger one that’s as quick
Just for the ones of you that don’t know it’s not common for a bob cat to attack a dear. Mostly birds and smaller prey..
This video symbolizes the time when the 7-59 Bobcats beat the Bucks on their first game
One time my uncle walked into his backyard to check on his pony. His pony was dead. Nearby a bobcat also lied dead. Apparently the bobcat killed the pony but not without the pony getting in a good kick in to the cat.
Yes, please explain to me how this is unfortunate!? Nature taking its course is not unfortunate, and the deers end is hardly “violent”!
I've been lucky enough to see bobcats kill whitetail fawn every spring from my back porch in Wyoming. Fortunately.
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.
It's called a fawn...not quite a fully grown deer. Mr. Bob cat couldn't take down a fully grown deer, but a mountain lion could.
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!
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.
So, it killed a young deer. What's so surprising about that?
