Saw something I've never seen before this morning while sitting in a blind turkey hunting. Had three jakes in front of me doing what jakes do; feeding with occasional bouts of strutting, running in circles, etc., generally acting like 13 year olds trying to prove their manhood. Same three jakes I had 10-12 yards in front of the blind yesterday, jakes aren't legal in AR by the way, when all of a sudden they got serious about something and started moving off. Was asking myself what for when I spotted a good sized bobcat coming across the field. I've seen several over the years and it was obvious this was a mature tom, one of the biggest ones I've seen. I'm thinking the jakes have decided to get the hell out of Dodge but about that time I realize they're headed toward instead of away from the cat. As I set there watching I realize they're following the bobcat. Once in a while he'd look back at them but kept moving until he disappeared in the woods. These three jakes had actually run him out of the field. He was big enough and they were close enough that I feel sure he could have turned and had one of them for dinner but he never did. Just curious if anyone else has seen anything like this. That's one of the things I love about bow hunting, especially with a stickbow. You spend a lot more time sitting and waiting which gives you the opportunity to see things most people have never seen before.
