Coyotegods: Dec 1

Hello everyone,

Havent posted in quite some time, I moved to Lincoln since graduation and there just isnt too much ground here that isnt leased out.
On a good note, during archery and rifle deer I made it back to our ground in south central nebraska to discover predators in abundance! I had a big tom bobcat walk litterally around me down a fence line at about 10 feet! He is a very unusual bobcat; almost black sort of the color of a chocolate lab with hardly any spots. He is probibly at least 35 lbs. I saw this bobcat many many times. He seems to hang out around one of my stands. I think he will be easy enough to get come dec 1 since he likes to follow me in and out of my stand. He seems to be a day hunter since I usually see him in the mid morning to early afternoon. When I stop to look back at him he simply sits down and stares at me. He is usually only 30 yards or less, VERY tempting.
I also had him watch me walk-out the woods last sunday for a deer drive for a friend. He just jumped into a big cottonwood and watched me.
I then discovered a den when a smaller female bobcat flushed from an old dead tree about a 1/4 mile from where the male lives. I watched her leave and about 5 minutes later two kittens started playing in front of the log.
Now isnt it a little late for kittens? These two were about half the size of a house cat or less. Maybe only 2 months old.
I plan on trying to take that big male over christmas. I think I will leave the female alone since she has kittens and they will be there for next year.
