I've never seen a bobcat in the wild. Then again, I don't spend much time in the boondocks or other strange places.
I was hunting wild pigs on a ranch in Santa Barbara County where a friend had permission, and as I came down out of the woods I saw a bobcat, standing very still, watching a colony of ground squirrels about 20 yards away. I assume he was waiting for them to forget he was there. I watched him for a couple minutes. I don't know if he didn't know I was there, or didn't care. But when my friend came around the other corner of the meadow, he took off like he'd been lit on fire.
