Puma & Bobcat Sightings Map

Heard loud screeching, snorting and what sounded like extremely aggressive bird calls. I thought a raccoon was injured but it continued and it sound like it was walking in a large circle. I am used to the raccoons in the area so I know what they look like and sound like, I know their sounds. This was wildly different, louder, more aggressive and extremely creepy sounding. I used my flashlight to shine into my backyard and I noticed cat ears, large eyes and a short tail and immediately identified this as a bobcat. It was not injured, so it seems, but maybe stuck in a yard. It is still there and very loud.

Not very bashful for a bobcat. Small in size, posed for all of our pictures, casually strutting across the rode.

It headed north out of sight toward Via Montanas.

I saw paw prints dried in the mud that appear to be a mountain lion or bobcat. Many people walk this trail (including myself) many times a week, would someone please investigate?

Walking by my front door 

This bobcat chased a deer (the blur at the beginning) across our yard.

Smaller bobcat seen in the lower driveway behind the house.

This morning my wife saw and photographed a bobcat.

A bobcat grabbed one of our chickens. 

Looks like a fairly large mountain lion to me

No doubt a cougar. I’d say 160-200 lbs. white face, long tail, terrifying!  Took devils gulch (Samuel p Taylor) fire road up to the property line/fence. I’m thinking I must of scared the cat out from where it was bedded down because a previous scan with binoculars I didn’t see it. Then outta nowhere it was 200-250 yards away about 75’ from the top of the ridge. The encounter lasted at least 10 min. The cat showed no fear and could care less I was there. After 10 min or so it walked up to the peak, under the fence and it was gone. I know that most claims turn out to be bobcats, this is not such a case. It was def a mountain lion. 

Found this carcass on Tuesday. Appears as if neck has been broken. Saw the cougar responsible the next day.

Mom and cub

Captured on our blink camera at 9:36 pm. 

There is a gate in front of him and if he jumped he would have been roaming downtown Half Moon Bay, CA.
