My brother and I while on patrol over Labor Day Weekend had a nice sized bobcat run across the road in front of us at that location. Interestingly, he was more gray than brown, as have been the deer we've seen lately.
I was letting my dog run down a dirt road the other day, he likes to run ount infront of the truck. There was a bobcat sitting on the side of the road and the dog ran right by him (within 3ft) The cat never moved and the dog never saw him.
This cat was also gray and blended in very well.
I've never seen deer around my place. But since the Crown fire I've seen four. It makes me think where there are deer, there are also mountain lions.
