There would be one less bobcat in my woods if I got a shot at him. It's hard to believe that one could take down a grown deer like that, but there it is.
My guess is that he didn't take it down, he attacked the deer while it was bedding down.
Once the bobcat bites onto the throat they hold on with vice-grip like pressure until they suffocate the deer,
Sometimes the bite causes the deer to drown in it's own blood.
Wouldn't be much for eatin' but he would make a nice addition on the wall. I try to take out as many bobcats on our lease as possible. I also let some trappers in during the off season for nuisance control.
