Several years ago there was one down in Carney's Point (reportedly) :noshit:

I saw a bobcat, not a Mountain Lion. I can tell the difference.

So we had a Mt. Lion I'd estimate 75lbs in Somerset Co. on the farm me and my son hunt....both of us saw the cat on one occasion about 40  yards in front of us....happy I was huntin' with my son or nobody would have believed just me....found numerous turkey carcasses around the acreage that it was leaving....seems it's been back every year since......phoned NJF&W at the time, they were but little interested. have a plaster cast foot print framed and hanging in my office.....

There are bobcats around. I found one dead on the side of the road about 10 years ago. I also knew a guy who's chickens kept disappearing. He sat outside one day waiting, and saw a bobcat coming towards the chicken coop. And one day I heard a bobcat, carrying on making all kinds of noise as I was sitting in my tree stand during bow season. These all happened in Gloucester County.

My brother-in-law sent me this a short time ago.  Woman in Andover saw the bobcat take down the deer in her front yard!

Wow! That bobcat must pack some punch!

Cats are incredibly strong for their size as this photo shows. I'd rather tangle with a large dog than a bobcat.

A really pissed off housecat can do a LOT of damage to a human if it chooses to. 
 

A bobcat will positively fuck you up. 
 

I shudder to imagine what a mountain lion could do to you.

Oh yeah. My wife and I each have one scar to demonstrate that. And neither of those cats were pissed at us, but just agitated about another cat outside a window.

...god bless their little canine teeth. :diablo:

Armed with a magnum caliber handgun I give myself a 70% chance if I see the mountain lion attack coming. I give the cat an 80% chance of success on a surprise attack which they are masters of.

Man, taking a doe without a license or a tag out of season.  That bobcat is in big trouble. 

Go ahead, give him a summons. At best we'll be calling you two finger Scorpio. Or Lefty.:D

A few years ago, my boss was attacked by a feral cat. 

I was shocked about how much damage that cat did to him. Scary how that cat tore him up. 
Unfortunately for him, he had to go through the rabies treatment.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
