Bobcat hunting or Rabbit hunting by way of bobcat

Video of a bobcat hunting rabbits and birds (quail) on a golf course in North Scottsdale, AZ. This cat is the same bobcat from the previous video. Rabbit hunting is a big part of their lives in the desert as rabbits are abundant. This young bobcat is already calmer than before, as well as a better hunter. The bobcat is still a bit impatient as a hunter. Quite a few bobcats arounds here these days.

i bet this is the one around my apartment complex on thompson peak parkway. our rabbit poplulation is all but gone now, they are so stealthy. so what is a rabbit catch to a bob cat like a par 3?

near Dynamite and Alma School

I thought he was going to get shot...I love hunting but I'm glad to see he wasn't shot. I thought if someone could get that close it isn't really hunting and therefore unsportsmanlike.

[jaybeegolf]

LOL!!! No, I am not a hunter. I play golf and sometimes bring my camera with me for times like this.

i think it sad they kill em...

are they really that dangerous?

i can imagine you don't need to come to close to such a big cat, but they look comfortable with people at some distance?

[jaybeegolf]

These bobcats are fairly tame. They are very used to people and are generally left alone.

He looked at you and he was like "uhhh can I help you? Go away! You're scaring off my food, loud human!"

[h3adcrabbio]

That bobcat looks stoned or something. It's like "Where are the rabbits I'm so fucking hungry. Goddamn I want some taco bell."

@TheDodgeChallenger rabies is an entirely different beast though. dad shot one last week, it only weighed about 20 odd pounds not big enough to cause serious damage (as in life threatening) to a grown human. 1st time i saw one i was about 6 or 7 and it ran away from me

[TheDodgeChallenger]

@spearo92 i wouldnt saythat, with the increase in rabies in cats recently there have been a few attacks. in 2009 field and stream put up a story about a man who had been attacked by one and it cut him up a lot but he managed to strangle it to death when he got a hold of its throat.he had to take rabies treatment

@skydive911 bobcats arent very big and of no real danger to people...in most areas they are much more shy than this, the few i've seen didnt stick around long once they new people were near by

[trackerns]

@skydive911 "are they really that dangerous?" You have no clue how dangerous they are. Where I live you can sit out on my front porch at night and listen to them hunt and kill dogs and coyotes. They are very feared in my parts. I live in Georgia.

@JustinFoSho Alright one, bobcats are not endangered. And two, law abiding citizens harvest only the amount of game they are suppose to, it's the poachers that kill for the sake of killing and take way more then their fair share.
