It was actually a young kitten that I saw running from me as I returned from a morning hunt. It ran towards the barn and hid against the side of the barn and the shed over my well. I looked away for a second to get my camera out of the bag and it was gone. I could not figure out how it got away without me seeing it but it vanished. I checked the A/C unit down to the right of where it hid and then under the shed where I park my truck and trailer to the left. Nothing. So I packed the camera back up and started the Ranger to put it in the barn. I saw the kitten run out from under my truck and then it stopped to hunt bugs in the grass. Did not have time to adjust settings on camera so just took pics with how it was set.

cute little bugger

Wonder where Momma was.

Man, my kids would freak out if they saw that. I'll show them the pics. Very cool.

Don't let that fool you......WARNING! EXTREEMLY DANGEROUS!

Sharing words of wisdom.....wisdom being defined as knowledge gained thru a bad experience.....

Awesome pictures as always......

You are obligated now to adopt.........keep us posted.

Great pics!

that is awesome. Cute little booger!!

That gave me a good laugh! These are wise words.

Those are some neat pictures and like someone said I wonder where mom is.

Great pics! Really odd there was just one at that age and no mom in sight.

nice to see nature, thanks for sharing

I like that. See them once in a while but not too often.

awesome pics man

Awesome pics! I bet mom was within earshot, possibly even watching, lol.

Thats pretty neat to get to see a young one like that. Good photos of it.

Love them. I've only seen two in my 60 years in the field. One was in a tree near the largest covey of quail for the day. The second was with my daughter on a quail hunt south of Sealy.

This applies to women too.

Rattlesnakes are easier to handle.....I have the scars from both to prove it too!!!

I am sure Mom was close buy in the thick underbrush beneath some huge Live Oaks. I think they may have been raised under a shed that is on pier and beam close to where I saw this young one. I would have been between the shed and the kitten when I drove up on it. I have also been catching mice in the barn on glue boards and throwing them out where I first saw this one this morning. So it probably wondered away from watchful eyes to "hunt" on its own.
