Yeah we have bobcats around here. I've seen three while deer hunting and seen tracks plenty of times.

Sometimes deer ripping past a tree will pull them off. Could have been a bobcat too. It's hard to say without them actually treeing a 2nd time. Could really be anything?

Was there any snow on the ground?

There was no snow to help me out on this one. And my female will chase a deer once in awhile so if it was just her. I would say maybe you were right. But my male is 100% broke off of deer and totally independent. I have a hard time thinking he wouldv'e run a deer away from a tree he was on hard. He doesn't like leaving a tree for anything.

They shut up for about 10-15 seconds after treeing before taking off. From what I've heard a dog won't catch a bobcat in 350 yds of running especially when the cat has that kind of head start?

I've heard that plenty of times before too. My grandad always told me that sound was a fox?

OK guys, went and made a drop at the same place last night. Dogs both treed split. Male was 50 yds away on a den tree. Female was 350 yds away aand, according to Garmin, in the exact same place they treed and then ran the other night. Went and checked the male first and cut him loose again. Then, he went to see what my female was up to. About the time he got to the tree, they both left the tree going hard again. This time didn't run towards the highway so I let them go. Only last night there was snow on the ground. They treed again about 500 yds further away. On the way to the tree I saw cat tracks in the snow. The tracks looked about as long as my 60 lb females tracks only a little wider and no toenails. Does this sound like a bobcat?

Anyway, I headed towards the tree they were on and when I was about 50 yds out, the chase started again. This time they headed onto private property that I don't have permission to be on, so I called them back, but it seems that it was for sure a cat this time.

What I learned is that hunting bobcats with hounds is hard work. I don't like all that walking! I like for my game to stay put once it's treed...LOL!
