ASH Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 i think i just heard similar story of woman attacking a cougar to save dog this week , we got this huge Bobcat in my woods im gonna have to dispatch , he has got over 75 acres to roam of woods, but has been seen in people's yard and coming out , and it is the biggest one ive ever seen , so far he has evaded trail cams but he is huge for bobcat and can't take the risk for other people and their pets or kids getting killed or hurt, i was walking down to the little lake on path and had that feeling i was being watched and urned around about 100 feet behind he was in stalk mode, before i got shot off he bolted , he has been shot or shot at because he knows what a gun is.
