Deer remains. Story is that a Bobcat brought it down, but we're skeptical.

Very dark February morning--we see Trish Carney shooting this fellow, Trail Cat, as he crosses the road right at the gate. We got there just in time to watch him climb the hill and disappear.

It's toward the end of March now, and I have been searching regularly and unsuccessfully. I arrive early and spot Trish with the Discovery Channel video crew. They have walkie talkies and a vehicle. I stick close to them.

We see them gathered by the side of the road and there, in the distance, is a female Bobcat in a tree. Very far away, but Sharon, Penny, and I took a few shots--probably 300 plus!

Apparently she rushed up the tree when another Bobcat approached. She stayed there pretty much all day.l

The next day--March 26th, Kathy and I encountered Matt along the road, focused on this little Pocket Gopher. We decided to try Haypress.

I looked up the hill to my right, and there he was!

Staring at me.

We walked back to the road so that the Matt could bring his video camera down. They had been waiting for a good opportunity to film Trail Cat, and here he was.

We caught a quick glimpse of this darker bobcat along the road to the parking lot. He or she soon disappeared.

And along came Trail Cat, makiing his way along side the road, heading toward the parking lot. Notice the cut on his back leg. He seems to keep it clean.
