Bobcat climbs tree - video

Unread postby thwack16 » Tue Feb 25, 2020 3:00 am

Thought I’d share something that happened to me last turkey season. I was working a flock of birds across a creek and in the adjoining property owners field. I couldn’t tell exactly where they were so I climbed into an old lock on I have on the creek bank to get a better view.
A
s I’m watching them, I notice a bobcat sneaking through the cane down the creek bank looking for a turkey dinner as well. As he neared my tree, he picked me out, but I’m assuming he just saw my eyes and thought there might be a meal in the tree for him. Right before he scales the tree, I blew at him attempting to run him off.

Ended because I freaked out ha. He got to just under platform height before realizing I was a little bigger meal than he was looking for. He slid back down the tree and sat at the bottom glaring at me before slinking off.

Reminds me of the time I was almost attacked by a hawk. I screamed like a girl as talons were headed at my face. :lol:
