Last one I saw was in a snare.

The cats don't bug me but I've literally only seen a handful during daylight in 20 years in the woods. Only one I shot as a teenager at 5 yards and still have the hide I tanned. Others I just watched.
Coyotes get thick sometimes mainly because our turkey population I think so I'll have my uncle come out whose into predator hunting and take a few out. He got 10 or so last year off my 180 acres

Predators are something that can stir up arguments with hunters. Some hate anything competing with them for game, others think the system should stay as unaltered as possible.

During bow season, I had a Bobcat attack and kill a squirrel about 15 yards from my stand in some heavy brush. I only saw it as it walked off with the squirrel in its mouth. That bobcat has hung around that area all year. I heard it about 5 hunts this year. Another time my son was in the stand and he saw it while I couldn't. Pretty neat to see.

A few years ago I had a big arse bobcat that would walk down a pipeline just about every evening. I would sit on my back porch about an hour before dark and like clockwork he or she would come up the pipeline in clear sight of my house like he owned the damn place. I am surrounded by cattle pasture and I am pretty sure he would go into the neighboring pasture to hunt the birds and rodents that hung around the cattle feeders. Then all of a sudden he disappeared and I haven’t seen him since. I figure one of the farm hands got him on his evening jaunt lol.

I did kill one at my Mom's house a few years ago, she had seen it several times in the edge of the woods behind her house, and was sure it was trying to get her little dog.
I'm sure it was stalking the dog. As William Wallace once said in his movie - "dog is a fine meal".

Has anyone seen what’s left of the deer on I-10 between Sorrento and Gonzales?

Spent many a day in the woods hunting. And many more plant collecting and researching. I have never fricking seen one.

This probably all depends on location and activities, as I've seen a number in my time.
One of my fondest memories hunting involves a bobcat.
Heard splashing water and crashing vegetation coming from the woods on the other side of the pipeline from my stand, so I got ready to shoot if it was something to shoot. Out runs a rabbit, and hot on its heels was a bobcat. The rabbit ran a quarter or so of the way into the clearing of the pipeline, then decided to circle back to the woods it just left. The bobcat caught it before it finished its turn, killed it, then trotted off back the way it came, with the rabbit hanging from its mouth.

Same here, I live next to a wildlife refuge with no real neighbors and occasionally see them walk in the open behind the house.
I took this while working in my office. Behind the house I've got a lake and I feed corn to the wood ducks. That brings in other things including rodents, and the rodents attract Bobcats. They are not unusual on my game cameras.

There are a shitload of them in South Texas and they are also legal to harvest. They also taste like pork so we shoot the shite out of them.
