Friend of mine had one in Brookfield that would just Waltz in and select
one of his chickens... ( He had a flock of them and sold eggs...)
then it would casually walk back into the woods like he owned the place.

Several times he thought about shooting it but then he said he loved
the relationship he had with it...the cat and mouse game they played......
over who was smarter....him or the Bobcat...

they are the type of Animal who will sit for hours on end hatching out a plan
and mentally timing your every move so they know exactly when
to show up and expertly claim their prize.

this happened to me too...i watched one watch me as i tossed trash fish (shiners)
in a pile for it next to a big rock for them or the coyotes and it would just lay in the sun
and wait patiently for me to leave.
