DRH, late last summer, my wife and I were heading down to cover our boat as a rainstorm was knocking on the door. As we were coming down rte 11 near your road, a bobcat ran across from left to right. I hit the brakes and heard a thud. When I looked back, I didn't see him / her.

On the way back, we stopped and I walked the side of the road and didn't see it over the guardrail, so I don't know if I killed it or not. I think that I did not, and that perhaps it was a glancing blow.

One of my neighbors sees one regularly when he is out on his deer stand. He says he wouldn't eat it, so he won't shoot it. Doesn't seem to bother any of the outdoor pets in the neighborhood, and he has seen it for a couple of years now.

Great pictures. Makes you want to scratch it behind the ears and say nice kitty, nice kitty.
