Took a drive thru the Witchita Mtns Wildlife Refuge tonight - came up over a rise and caught him in my headlights.
Saw a low squat something - so my instinctual thought was raccoon (which is the most common low squat something you are gonna see out there at night) - and at the same time my mind reacting to what it was seeing was like - boy that sure is a big and weird lookin rabbit? maybe? - And just as I was like whoa could it be a cat? yes I think it is, it started to bolt into the brush and even as I realized from the way it moved that it werent no rabbit I caught enough of a glimpse of muzzle and then tail/butt to confirm that it was indeed a bobcat- it was all way too quick to even reach for the camera much less grab a pic (heck the above all happened in about the time it took to break to a stop), but I'm still stoked
Never seen a fox out there (coyotes yes, but no fox) - not positive but pretty sure I saw the ass end of a wild pig once tho I cant be certain but beyond that the only thing left that I know is out there that I havent seen in mountain lion - maybe one of these nights - boy wouldnt THAT be something!!!!
