Well I like to think I'm not too much of a dumbass. Plus I'm lazy, shoot him and have lunch.

I'm past my "hold my beer" age. But I'll say this. I'll hold Bama's beer and watch him get shredded. Hell I'll even buy the beer.

This is a pretty cool video with funny yankee voices. They try to release a bobcat from a trap.

That guy was flirting with disaster on more than one occasion.

I've been hearing about cougar sightings in Louisiana.

Human bodies are designed to do many things very well and human bodies of elite size and strength can do those things very well. Human bodies can even take a relatively high amount of blunt force trauma and survive.

However, human bodies without protection are not designed to handle piecing attacks, you know from claws and teeth and stuff like that. There are numerous places on your body that even one claw strike from a bobcat could inflict lethal damage. I have no doubt an average man has the physical strength to kill a bobcat. The question should be is it worth the risk of the claw strike or bite its hits you with bleeding you out a few minutes later.

It definitely isn't worth the risk, but that isn't the question that's being asked. I would never actually attempt to kill a bobcat with my bare hands. It would definitely cause serious and probably permanent and definitely very painful damage. Not to mention I don't want to uselessly kill an animal just because I can anyway.

In an actual real life scenario I would probably just find some way to peacefully remove myself from the situation. But put to it in some imaginary scenario where I had to and there were no other options I would crush a bob cat, just out of pure size and strength advantage. Bobcats are not big animals.

How would you crush an animal that weighs on average 20 lbs? Do you even have to ask the question? There are several scenarios that could play out, but several stomps would destroy its back bone and ribs, or you could bash its head on a tree, or you could do like this 62 year old man did and strangle the thing.

20lbs of wild animal with large teeth, razor sharp claws, an one hell of a temper, I wouldn't underestimate them.

Dude, I’ve seen bigger cats in the quad at LSU
