I think Northeast GA needs some bobcat licenses issued. Just Google Bobcat Attacks in Georgia, there's more.

Good thing the Texas State vs Georgia Southern game is in San Marcos this season, or else you’d have to document another bobcat attack and mauling within GA’s borders.

I wouldn’t call it an attack, but when I rented one years ago I dumped the frontend loader onto my head twice when I was raising the bucket while maneuvering.

I used to live in Winterville when my kid was a toddler.

This is my "could have been me" moment.

can a bobcat drag a 3 year-old under a car while fighting off dogs??? That seems unlikely. I'd bet that 3 year old got under a car on their own or child, bobcat and dogs all rolled under the car from their fighting. Scary any way you slice it....Winterville is not overly rural any more...it ain't urban but its pretty typically suburban. Nice area despite the bobcats...
