983.0. "Wildlife so close to home" by USRCV1::GEIBELL (KING FISHING ON LAKE ONTARIO) Fri Jul 12 1991 14:42

    
    
        Last night while watching a movie I heard a noise like a small
    child screaming, so I went outside and it was coming from across the
    road in an apple orchard.
    
        I got my spotlight out of the gun cabinet and went back outside
    I opened the car and plugged in the light, and what a supprise I got,
    there not 50 yrds from the house was a BOBCAT, I couldnt believe it.
    
       As soon as I hit it with the light it stood there for about 4-5
    seconds then took off but it only went 40-50 yrds then stopped, and
    then started that crying again.
    
       I swear the hair on my neck is still standing on end...........

 Isn't that a cool sound? It _does_ make the hair on your neck stand on
end, too. The first time I ever heard it, I felt like I knew what primitive
man felt like on a regular basis. :-)

    	Where do you live??
    
    It took me two years to convince people in my neighboorhood 
    (E.Hudson/Marlboro Ma. line) that there were a LOT of deer behind my
    house.  Then one got 'nicked' on the road in front of the house.
    
    	NOW they beleive me!

    I live in the small town of Williamson, NY although I am only 25 miles
    from Rochester. We live on a farm, and there are apple orchards all
    around the house. and if you walk out to the back yard you can see
    about 12 miles of lake Ontario.
