Outdoor Writer Report post Posted February 22, 2008 One of you guys ought to go do some calling in my son's backyard. This was one of his visitor's a couple days ago. He lives at Tatum and Dynamite and has a wash that runs behind his house. There's a resident Gambel's quail population, and he often has javelina come by, as well. This is about the third bobcat to visit over the last few years. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted February 22, 2008 He took them through the kitchen window. This from his e-mail. I can see that it is time to clean the windows in my house. The pictures are not great as I was trying to hurry before the cat ran off. I did not know that it had already lost it's fear of humans. Here's one as it began to leave. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted February 22, 2008 My folks live near Tatum and Dixieleta. They see yotes, javelina, and the occaisional bobcat also. They have seen a rattler take some baby rabbits from a hutch in hte backyard. When there, Rica usually gets to hunt the numerous Gambels in the neighborhood and in the wash behind the house.

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted February 22, 2008 Sounds like your folks live quite close to Keith. His house in red, and the blue is the wash behind him. He's had one rattler make its way into the yard -- well, one that he knew about. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife ran for the camera while I was running for my bow. My poor kids thought we were running because we were scared of the cat! It takes a lot of nerve to steal my pool water while I'm trying to eat my dinner! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It takes a lot of nerve to steal my pool water while I'm trying to eat my dinner! My son doesn't have a pool, but his neighbor does. A couple years back, one of the bobcats regularly used the pool for his daily drinks and often slept in a big, empty earthenware pot that sat atop the neighbor's wall. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
