This young bobcat was staking out a location for the evening hunt.

As you might notice in this image, this bobcat has a few injuries - shoulder, back and it appears to his belly. Kinda rough out there for the young ones learning to survive.

super set of images Mister Neal, wow those cuts look fresh and bad. I wonder did an owl or other raptor take a swipe at this critter? hard to tell how big he is without any reference in the frame

good work

Hard to tell about those wounds. Based on my experience with dogs and wild hogs, this looks like he could have tangled with a hog - which by the way I've seen plenty of in the area. I've seen a sow with about 1/2 dozen pigs that would be just about the size this cat could take down and the momma might have had a different idea. They can tear open some gaping wounds with those tusks.

Of course it could be a territorial fight with another bobcat. As for its age, I'd say it is about a year old given its size. It doesn't have enough bulk to be a whole lot older than that.

#1 is a fantastic image but it's a bit too bright, esp. when compared to the others. I'm always amazed what wounds many animals in the wild can survive. Humans aren't nearly so tough! Don

Thanks Morris. I wish I'd had a little better light as this twilight stuff makes exposures tricky but these held up pretty well despite it.

I've been incredibly lucky in the last couple of months that I've been in the right place at the right time and had the chance to capture a couple of these critters.

trey, looks like your time spent out there learning the area has been paying off . Nice looking little kitty. yes the wounds look like hog . Just think if it was a dog you could just sew him back up with some dental floss and superglue and send back out for the hunt .

Waiting patiently.

Some great looking images, and some nasty looking wounds..Guess it'll be thinking twice about Piglet on the menu.

Making the rounds out there every afternoon has made the search for subjects quite a bit easier as I've begun to figure out the patterns. I've seen this bobcat in this general location three times so I'm thinking he may be using some of that fallen timber as a den. Either way, it is fun to see.

Piglet may still be on the menu but he might be keeping a closer eye out for mom! Thanks Scott.

This one was just sitting there nonchalantly observing his surroundings and if I hadn't been looking for bobcat I might have completely missed him in plain view. They are very good at not being seen!
