Answers the age-old question "Has a cat got a climbing gear?" definitively.
Used to be a lifeguard, until that blue kid got me fired.

Years ago I get in my climber wayyyy before dawn. I liked getting there so everything would settle down after my walk in. Really dark night and after I get setup I hear this scratching, then it stops and starts. Then it stopped.
I was about 30 feet up in a pine and when the sun came up I realized what I had heard was a really big bobcat climbing the tree next to me. He was about the same height as me and only about 6-7 feet away. He was layed out on a limb sleeping. All I could think was what would I have done if (in complete darkness) he had climbed my tree. I was remined of the Jerry Clower bit: “Shoot up here amongst us, because one of us needs some relief!”
I love my country, but don't trust my government.

I saw one grab a squirrel off a limb I couldn't reach up and touch my gun with . Had to be close to 15 feet off the ground You aint a short fella either.

I saw one with a kitten/cub? yesterday afternoon slipping across a ridge. First time seeing a little one like that. Thought it was a coon until I saw the mama.

Had one walk within 5 feet of my blind yesterday at dark.
I was thinking I didn't know what I would do if he hopped up to peek in the window.

The ultimate hunter - bad to the bone
Saw one jump off limb onto a rabbit. Never saw it until he was in the air and then heard the ruckus then saw him w rabbit in mouth briefly
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self We need prayer for our country now more than ever

Had a trail cam pic of one walking with a swamper in its mouth...rabbit was dragging the ground. That was a big cat. Also watched one have a stare down with a little six point one evening. I lost both of them in the thick stuff so i don't know the outcome of that one.
The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

So video of a yote climbing a tree after one while back. Was hoping to see good show, but he backed off was little out of range lol.
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!
