[Turkey Creek]

Kind of a bizarre evening set. First the dumb Great Horned Owl that I have posted about before landed on a trail camera which is mounted on a camera stake in one of my plots. I had just reset the camera today after the SOB had landed on it a couple nights ago and tilted the camera down to facing the ground. F'n thing! LOL It then jumped off the camera and onto the ground. I am entirely impressed at how fast a damn Great Horned Owl can run around on the ground. I would say almost as fast as a chicken chasing bugs in a yard. It was crazy. Then a short while later I saw this damn domestic cat. At first it was about 60 yards away and I thought it was a bobcat as I could see the spots. Then I saw a long tail and I was what Hell is that thing?! It eventually walked right under the box blind and I videoed it. This is just a snap shot of the video as I have no idea if we can even post videos on here. I have never seen a spotted domestic/feral cat. I guess there are spotted breeds but I have never seen one in person until today.

No collar, trespassers don't get a pass from me.

Thing probably pleasure kills a few hundred birds a year.

That’s the offspring of a bobcat and loose domestic cat. Thankfully for the domestic cat he wasn’t as hungry as he was h……y

I will be trapping after deer season and if I catch it then it won't get released. I didnt really have a shot at it tonight. It came through the brush and then directly under the box blind. I had the cell phone out a window to get the video/picture.

I looked it up and it says the bobcats and domestic cats are genetically too different to breed and produce viable offspring.

I don’t have it on hand. But remind me if I forget. I’ll show you a pic of one I shot. No way it was wild or domestic. I had it mounted.

I thought it would be a cool tanned pelt, but I also know that my wife would probably kill me if killed a "domestic" cat and skinned it out. LOL
I recall a long time ago I tanned one for a customer. I don't recall the reason now, I am sure it had something to do with the markings on it.

I remember years ago seeing aussie or kiwi hunting magazines with feral cat trophy photos. That would be a trophy!

I knew a guy who supplied a restaurant with raccoon meat in Nashville I believe.

He ran outta coons and started selling them feral cat meat.

It didn’t end well.

produce viable offspring.

Meaning at all? Or meaning if it lives, it can't reproduce. I know the latter is often the case with crossbred critters, they're one and done.

They breed domestic cats with patterns like that now. Super expensive. I’d trap it and list it on marketplace! #getrich

My cat.


Called a bengal cat. Bred with Asian leopard cat.

I'm not a cat person, (my wife and kids have one) but that's a cool looking cat you have there Omi.

I wasn’t either until I got this cat for my kids. He’s cool as heck. Still love my dog though.

How’s the hunting this year? I know you got that stud last year. Any lookers this year?

I haven't even been out yet. We have a few decent ones around. The #1 target broke some stuff off in velvet so he's getting the pass. I'll be after a different one that has some extra character.

I sat in a blind tonight that I placed with rifle hunting in mind, and watched the crop come out. 5 does came out of the corn and headed in various directions, none within 30 yards though. So, with a bow in hand I was just a spectator. I chose to sit where I sat so I could see as much as possible for future hunts. It’s my first time being around to see the harvest and really wanted to see how the deer react and where they went.

I did see a lot of pheasant leave the corn and pile into my cattails, which will be fun soon. A friend is coming out with his pointer next week.

I did get this amazing photo though. Sent it to the guy driving the combine. He was pretty happy about it.
