Guest Mathews4 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 for the past 2 weeks something has been coming into my papaws yard and killed 4 guienies, 3 chickens, and 3 tame turkeys, one of which was a 18 pound gobbler. whatever it is, is coming in the daytime takes whatever it catches about 60-70 yards up the hillside eats half of its kill, then either covers it up with leaves or burries it completely.we know it attacks in the day because he'd be in the house and hear whatever it is attack a chicken or somethin and by the time he'd get outside to check it would already be gone and nothing but feathers in the yard. he said he seen somethin run around the hillside and said it was to big to be a dog or coyote and he said it didnt look like a bear. so if any of you guys have any clue what this might be please let me know. oh yeah and how big of a gun ill need to be packin as well...

jcwa Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Re: what does this It sounds like a bobcat, most cats will bury their larger prey when that have had enough and come back later to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DU_man_84 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Re: what does this [ QUOTE ] SASQUATCH!!! [/ QUOTE ] i like the way your thinking, but im gonna have to go with the bobcat here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mathews4 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Re: what does this i knew it wouldnt be long before someone put sasquatch on here....lol....today there was a mt lion spotted about 2 miles down the road from my papaws and since some of you guys said it could be a kitty this might be what it is. thing is, mt lions are protected in WV but according to our so called "reliable" DNR sources there isnt supposed to be any in the state. So i guess i'll have to watch my tail on my way to my stand if it is a mt lion, but if its a bobcat, it think that will be a good bow kill...thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Re: what does this cat...or lion..they cover the kill, so will a bear if nobody is there protecting it, is it REALLY protected?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfletch7441 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Re: what does this If it is a mountain lion, and they are protected, what are the livestock depredation laws in WV? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
