Maybe so Travis. The average bobcat here isn't all that large, is solitary, and I can't see it whipping a doe. I did see one HUGE bobcat on my land about 7 or 8 years ago but only a couple of times.

I can see how a couple of coyotes could keep a doe busy enough to snatch a fawn.

We have enough deer recruitment that I don't worry about fawn predation. It's just part of the predator/prey relationship. I really enjoy watching the predators and always stop what I'm doing when the coyotes start singing. I put roaming and feral dogs in a whole different category.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
