Bobcat

I scared up a bobcat in the grass about six feet ahead of me this morning. We were walking on our property just a 100 feet or so west of the corral on the west side of the tracks. Pepper was busy up ahead. The cat was on the small side, but definitly bigger than a house cat. Sturdier. Gray and black spotted. It ran off east into the brush as Pepper gave belated chase. I've seen a bobcat in the distance before, and stuffed in the back of a neighbor's truck. But never alive and up close like this. A wild animal in the wild.
