Yesterday a friend of mine that lives about 2 miles down the road called me and asked if the snakes were out yet because something had bit his draft horse on the ass and it was expressing pus all over the place.
I said no snakes for a while. He said well something has been coming into his yard and scaring all the animals and it has eaten some of his rabbits up on a small haystack.
I say sounds like a bobcat to me, I'll come down with some cages and catch it before it gets the chickens and cats.
He called me again before I could get down there and said something has got a hold of my other horses ass and my wife just opened up a huge pus pocket on it as well.
So I go down there and there are just quarts of pus coming out of this horses hams.
I walked around the house to where the rabbits were getting ate and sure enough lion tracks in the sand.
So I called the Govt. guys today and they put a big cage trap up that they had built for this stuff.
Tomorrow me and some friends are gonna take some hounds and poke around and see if we can catch the SOB.
Fortunately it snowed this morning and there is still enough for a hunt tomorrow. I expect the snow to be gone tomorrow.
If we get the SOB I'll post some pics.
Shows the size of the animal
Close up showing the wound and the drainage. Two big old paws grabbed each side of the tail. Kind of like how I've seen movies of African lions taking prey.
