Hi nostr, we just had a scary encounter with the bobcat thats been preying on our animals. It was around sunset and i was watching the chickens to be sure they all went into the coop since we're changing stuff around in their run. And right across the run, on the opposite side from me, there appeared the damned bobcat, in daylight! I called my husband to come out with the rifle, and the bobcat started running off. He shot at it but we dont think he hit it. I kicked myself for not having a gun with me, but the chicken run is not very far from the house. And just a few minutes before this i had been out walking with Lucy the puppy, training her on the leash, in the same spot where the bobcat was. That could have been a horrible situation. Anyway, i'm a little shaken after this, so i think i'll listen to some nice music and chill out now. Never a dull moment around here. Yall have a good evening nostr friends. #homesteading #bobcats #countrylife https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/8d9d2b77930ee54ec3e46faf774ddd041dbb4e4aa35ad47c025884a286dd65fa/9f8dcf697a0d0205bef2231441daf78efa3c275e30713221cce37ed506309783.webp

Wildlife encounters can be pretty spooky sometimes, mine was with a large momma black bear and her cubs. Glad you and the pup are okay. It will be back and you will be ready next time.
Setup a trap with some bait. Problem solved.
Stay safe out there ๐ซก
