Three bobcats

I saw three bobcats on stand last night. The came out of a den about 15 yds from me. I am guessing two young ones and momma. The two smaller ones were about the size a smaller house cat so I am guessing the bigger one was momma. They were pretty neat to see as they were preparing to go hunting. They headed through the tall grass and into the cornfield. I am surprised I haven't seen them on trailcam as it sits about 15yds away on a creek crossing. At any rate I feel fortunate to have seen three at one time considering I have never seen one alive before this.

I should also mention the deer were moving starting about 5pm. I was in my stand around 3pm. From 5pm to closing time they were definitely on their feet.

Lucas County...
 
My neighbor has pics of a female with two kittens from his cam this fall, the female is standing on his salt block. Very cool to see in the area, northern mahaska county. Be nice when they move the harvest zone up here.
 
Were you hunting in the timber? I'll be hunting a hay field edge tonight but cant imagine I'll see any til after 6, but maybe I'm wrong. Hopefully not because I can't get there til around 5...

I was hunting the edge of an alfalfa field. They were far from living in the heavy timer.....mostly creek. There is a man made mound of dirt that was left when they made the creek crossing. It was too dark when I got down but I am assuming they have a den in it.
 
I've only seen one. It walked right under my stand in late December last year. When i got down and looked at its tracks i was surprised to see that they were only a little bigger then a large house cat. It was crazy how quite it was!
This was in wayne county.
