Cat buried deer

We killed a doe Friday evening.. quartered it on the tailgate without gutting., took straps etc. We put the carcass where we usually do our field dressing. I looked at it Saturday about 5pm and it was gone. The whole thing, hide, rib cage innards, everything. It wasn't immediately apparent, but then I saw about a 5" diameter circle of dirt and a big pile of dirt and straw in the center. The carcass was buried there. Big claw marks all around it in the dirt. We thought mountain lion but that seemed remote .So we put a camera on it overnight and caught this big tom bobcat. He was on it for about 6 hours and there was very little






left.

Nice series of pics showing who the culprit was

He was big and sturdy.

Cool pictures of what cats do with a meal. I have heard they do that but I have never seen picture evidence.

I'd put handcuffs on him and make a hat out him in a heartbeat. Nice spots.

Big old Tom.

Those are great pics!

Thanks for posting them up with a story!

I have always been a cat lover until today.

Well fed kitty...

That’s pretty cool

Wow, nice pics.

Awesome story and thanks for sharing. Cool pics, too

That is a big old bobcat!!

Great GC pics to!

Cool story and pics, but you sure did leave a lot of meat on the table for him.

Pretty cool, big healthy Tom.

I like to set my game cams on 'video' for that kind of thing, but your pics are good.

Healthy boy. Thanks for posting this.

Great pics!

Your pictures certainly tell the story of what happened! That guy is quite a chub! Nice work!

Very cool, I’ve always wanted to set up a cam on a gut pile to see what all feasts on it. It’s amazing how quickly the scraps can be removed.

Nothing goes to waste.

Very cool pics. Thanks for sharing.
