Parts of Texas are overloaded. Our deer-lease rancher went on an extensive trapping campaign one year after suffering a lot of depredation on his goat herd. In his east pasture of some 3,000 acres, the trapper took some 32 or 34 bobcats. The next season, the kid crop was an additional 200 goats.
I was sitting here at the computer one afternoon and had Robert Kitty amble across the porch. I guess he smelled bird scent because of the hanging feeder at the eave.
