Found a freshly killed deer up there a few years back and thought it was one that got away from a hunter but the head was completely gone and the body was cached in some brush and covered like a cat or bear would do. Ran and got a game camera and had visions of finally getting a panther on camera. Came back 3 days or so later and it was a bobcat. He would come eat on it and then lick itself, and then take a nap and go back to eating it again  Got tons of pics of it, and when I looked for the deer remains there was nothing to see, not a bone or a hoof or anything. Deer was 75 lbs or so and a buck, and had heard a bobcat can take down a deer, and they can. I think I posted pics here somewhere |
I never got to hunt that area but heard plenty of stories. When my Dad an Grandpa hunted out there it was all just open timber. Before leases were in existence up there.
We hunt west of Columbia in Mount Pleasant and have seen several suspicious cats. Word is however is that the lake they are making in the Duchene Hills off of the Oua****a is coming along. We have been seeing more n more hogs and bear with the activity. I'm kind of looking forward to see what gets pushed out on us when the lake is flooded.
