    I was lucky enough to see one bobcat while deer hunting this year, but no yotes or any other predators. How many and what did you see throughout your 2011-2012 season?? Really just want to get a feel of how often people are seeing predators during daylight hours on stand.

    I see at least a coyote a week, usually one every other hunt or so. I only saw one bobcat last season though. I get a couple pictures a month of them, but hardly ever actually see them on stand.

    Couple coyotes multiple times, 4 fox (took one with the longbow and one with the AR), and 2 box turtles walked by on two different properties (my oddest walk by animals to date).

    Did not see a single coyote this year though I heard plenty of them. I usually see half a dozen bobcats but did not see even one of them either. I did see some hogs, of which I got one with my bow. A few foxes. Lots of coons. An O'possum. Lots of turkeys which has me excited and I walked up on one alligator. That's about it for me.

    1 yote, 1 grey fox and a pack of dogs an hour before dawn on a ground sit--scared the crap out of me cause I thought they were deer and I didn't know exactly how many there were, till they started barking.

    Numerous other critters, but no other predatory mammals except man.

    Please post that pic when u find it. Id really like to see that one.

    I didn't see any predators on stand this season. Had a "bird of prey" swoop down about 2-3 feet behind my tree and scare the crap outta me. It was cutting through the air with amazing force. Snatched up what looked like a chipmunk or field mouse and took it to the tree tops about 70 yards away. It sat there with its catch clenched in its talons for a couple mins then flew off. Was a really cool sight.

    Saw 4 bobcat in Kansas in 3 days hunting, 2 bobcat in Tennessee, killed 1. Saw no coyotes, however left a deer over night in Kansas and the yotes ate him. Amazing critters, they gutted the deer with more skill than I, moved the body away from the guts and ate it all! I did get the antlers!

    I stopped keeping count on the yotes after the first week of ML. Lets just say ALOT! 3 bobcat sightings and lots of pics of both. However I'm fairly certain 2 of the 3 cats sightings I had were the same cat.

    I saw 14 coyotes in 9 days in Kansas and one bobcat. Had a huge opossum dang near climb my tree. I watched him snooping along and went into a little patch of brush and a turkey that was bedded there bead the crap out of him. They spooked each other at the same time. Pretty funny.
