How was this 'unfortunate'? The bobcat was doing what bobcats do.

what is unfortunate is that that bobcat worked hard for that meal and was chased off. who knows how long it will take for it to find another opportunity to eat. probably had kittens depending on that meal too. unfortunate indeed

Bobcats gotta eat too. Hope he left the deer for the cat to come back too.

Why would he try to save the deer? Do you how much effort that poor Bobcat had to put into a successful hunt? Any good hunter should have recognized and respected it.

Save the deer? Shit, let that thing eat what it clearly earned...

Poor Bobcat, cat can't even eat anymore after a hard days work.

Save the deer? How about you guys just let nature take its course. We have done enough already

Too late to save the deer? So the bobcat should starve? You just ruined his dinner he worked so hard for. Lame af.

"Too late to save the deer?" It pains me when people watch so many Bambi reruns and start believing prey should be saved.

A predator that doesn't bother people and rarely bothers livestock takes one young wild deer and that's unfortunate? This is why we have such a messed up predator/prey balance in most of North America.

nothing unfortunate about a bobcat getting a meal.

why disturb the bobcat? yall probably hunted it and killed it later on. there are tens of millions of deer, not so many bobcats. let them do their thing.

"too late to save the deer" from wild predator? seriously?

Deer was already dead. Should have just left the bobcat to enjoy what he/she worked hard for.

The bobcat has to eat too. The food plot for the deer became the food plot for the bobcat, thats nature

grow up buddy its called the food chain,,,

What do you think Bob cats eat at McD?

Why worry about "saving" the deer? This is the way that nature works. A faster or more alert deer would have remained in the gene pool. Bobcats need to eat too. I'm impressed. I didn't think a Bobcat could take down a deer so easily but then I didn't think an Eagle could take down a deer either.

Badass bobcat! I wouldn't have thought they went after deer, that was cool, hope your brother left the deer there so the cat could come back and eat some of its hard won dinner.

Hope he came back for his feast

Why is this sad. This is great. This is how nature is supposed to be. The bocat is fed and the herd is under control. God made nature perfect.

Unfortunately he was too late to save the Deer? Its sad he interrupted the Bobcats Dinner. Its best to allow Nature to take its course. I hope he left the Deer carcass for the Bobcat to enjoy after he left? I mean, the Deer was dead and the Bobcat Did harvest it as that is what they do brother. Enjoyed the Video by the way. Thank you very much for posting it.

Good video Billy, there's nothing unfortunate about not being able to save the deer though. That's a valuable, hard-earned meal for a bobcat. Some must die so that others may live. That's simply the way of life and it always has been.

Why would an adult man act like it was so sad for the deer? The only sad thing is that the cat worked hard to be successful and was run off after killing it's prey. It's a pansy snowflake world these days.

This guy makes this sound like a tragedy. This is fucking nature. I’m glad that bobcats are capable of controlling the deer population because coyotes don’t do shit around where I live because we don’t get much snow anymore. I don’t see why people can’t just let nature do it’s thing, it’s not like bobcats are endangering the entire population.

Why would you try and save the deer .. Should have left the bobcat alone to eat it's hard earned meal ..

why the hell would he try to save the deer? let this cat eat and let nature takes its course bobcats have been hunting deer for thousands.

By chasing the bobcat off, you made it kill something else, or many other things to replace this meal. So, by intervening, you caused more harm. Way to go.

Unfortunately? How do you expect him to eat?

"Unfortunately?" I take the predator's side and not the prey's, it'd only be unfortunate if the deer had gotten away.

Why would he save the deer. You know bobcats have to eat too

Why would you interfere with nature. The bobcat has to eat and earned its meal risking injury to itself.

There is no mercy in mother nature, eat or be eaten is the rule, compassion, remorse, sympathy, are attributes to humans, it is an unbelievable act of brutality what is shown here, but we are looking at it through OUR senses as a human. But our forefathers SOMEHOW gain the feeling and senses of community, compassion and remorse. They fought big beast and hunted others, fed themselves and share their kills with young and old, and those who could not provide for themselves, and become the top predator and got us to where we are Now. Was it an act of Divine, or Mother nature, or some other phenomenal to chose us, is for one to decide, the Fact remain the same, that if it wasn't for The hunting ability of our forefathers, these few lines would NOT be on you Computer screen. A top video, congrats to your brother who captured this educational sequences of photos , not 5 but 10 *s video, and with best regards, from New Zealand, Tony.

dont save the deer, then the bobcat would have died from no food, it went through all that effort just to run away scared from a human.

Natural selection at work.. Cat earned the kill..

Should have left it. Why do these people get involved?? The deer was already dead.

Save the deer ? wtf that's something my wife would say :(

and why did your brother think he should save the deer? Fool

Unfortunately? Bobcats have to eat, too. Circle of life, dude.

Why didn’t you just let the bobcat eat it’s dinner in peace? It takes a lot of his energy for him to kill that deer. If the bobcat died it’s your fault.

Bob cat gota eat too!

Save the deer. Yeah, it's so sad that such a endangered species is dying off like this. You gotta be nuts.

This guy's got to be straight from the suburbs of some major metropolis, raised up on latte's and smart phones. Save the deer? Why on God's green earth would you do that? So the Bobcat and her kittens can starve to death? Deer are common and bountiful; Bobcat's are rare and fragile. Leave nature to her course.

Where in CO did this take place?

You may find it sad, but as the great Steve Irwin use to say, "That's natures way."

Bob cats are capable of taking down smaller dear easily. It gets better at it every time it is successful. This cat looks full grown and healthy.

For those who don’t know, northern large male bobcat can easily do this. And shame on whoever fucking robbed this bobcat of it’s hard work.

Why would he interfere with nature? That was not very bright of him! I can understand if someone was poking an animal with a stick or tormenting an animal. But don't interrupt the natural order of what takes place in the wild....

Well really he should’ve just left the deer for the cat.

The dude's brother need the meat more than the bobcat. Poor animal worked so hard for its dinner and was taken. Dawned

What part of Colorado is this in? It looks just like an area I hunt where I got a bobcat on my trail can.

Thanks Billy, I am impressed by the footage and the boldness of the bobcat, also I had always been told that they were so shy that they wouldn't leave the cover of brush but the footage says otherwise. Awesome Brother, keep up the videos!

Unfortunately? Isn't this part of nature? Poor Bobcat, all that hard work and he doesn't even get to eat its deer cake.

WTF? Mr & Mrs Bobcat & Family have to eat too! ^..^~~

Billy is that a lynx? The tail looks long for a bobcat… just wondering

nice thats some rare pictures never seen any of a bobcat attack right on

What an awesome event to capture on a trail cam! Love it..amazing hunters these bobcats! I don't find this unfortunate at all..it's well earned and fortunate for the bobcat and hopefully his kittens too

Did he take the deer or leave it for the critters?

why your brother interupted the hunt?

This year I saw a bobcat kill a small elk I couldn't believe my eyes wish I would have had a video camera

Your interruption may have caused another death. Who knows what other animal the bobcat had to kill because of that. But to be honest, I may have react the same way. Strange, when watching the clip, I feel sorry for the deer and want it to escape and at the same time I'm all with the bobcat. Seems like two souls are within me - one is prey and one is predator.

What is unfortunate is when d-bag hunters kill bobcats for trophys.

He has a timelapse camera constantly running?

The unfortunate thing is the prick who scared the bobcat off from his lunch.

Thanks for the video, most people do not know how powerful a bobcat is, they are tough.

Is that in northern New Mexico?

Save the deer? Why? My man earned that! What's your problem?!

So did your brother leave the deer there so the bobcat could return and finish his meal?

I'm a Coloradan. Where (approximately) did this take place?

Thanks for uploading!

Did you leave the deer alone and did the cat retrieve her reward?

Unfortunately you can't just the size of the Bobcat from the photos. I live in a typical residential neighborhood just outside of Phoenix, Arizona proper. One morning I had a Bobcat with three kittens in my front yard. It was the first time I had ever seen a Bobcat in a more or less natural setting. I was stunned by how small it was. It was about the size of a very large housecat.

Did your brother really want to save the deer?

What is this nonsense about him saying it is unfortunate that the deer died? Dude, bobcat has gotta eat! For an ecosystem to function properly, there must be a sufficient number of predators to keep prey animal numbers within control. All a deer has to do to eat is lower its head and open its mouth. Bobcats have gotta work hard to survive. Don’t interfere with that.

Bobcats prefer rabbits or small deer but Ive seen footage of them taking out large seer too.

Mother Nature at her finest !! I’ve seen a coyote haul down a fawn & drag the dead fawn back to her baby yotes........Not fun to witness but that is the way Mother Nature works......

Awesome attack and kill video. Proof positive that a 25 pound bobcat can take down a 50 pound fawn. Everything has to eat in nature so i don't blame the bobcat for the attack. A young deer also isn't always as alert and swift to dodge nor strong enough to break free so I don't blame the deer either. for its demise It's just how nature works. But it does point out the abject cruelty and lack of compassion any predatory killer has for its prey. As you noted, it takes minutes for a deer to bleed out and die due to punctures and bites to the neck. A deer needs to bleed out about 3 pints of blood in order to die. I say this simply to point out that a vital zone bullet from a hunter's gun kills far more humanely than predators in nature ever do. I'd be willing to bet a lot of those saying let the bobcat kill and eat the deer would be completely against a hunter killing the same deer. To the deer it doesn't matter all that much; it dies either way. What this video proves is that controlling the deer population via hunting isn't any more traumatic or unethical than simply allowing nature's predators to do the same job. Thanks for sharing a great video!

It hunts just like a mountain lion. It lies in wait and ambushes pray from behind. Its really cool that this was actually documented photographically.

I get a kick out of people who always talk about how a coyote will win in fight against a coyote. They have never actually witnessed a bobcat attack anything. Just a few years ago while hunting from my deer stand I watched a young female bobcat that was only 12 to 15 pounds absolutely destroy a large male coyote that was 45+ pounds. She came walking up the ridge with a rabbit she had caught and the large male coyote sneaked up behind her and tried to steal her catch. It didn't take but a few seconds for him to realize he just made the mistake of his life. She wrapped her legs around his neck and head, sunk her claws in and went to chewing with her teeth. He tried everything he could to shake her off but all he could do was roll with her and scream. After probably 15 to 20 seconds she finally let go and all you could see was him running away yelping with his head tore all to pieces. Never underestimate any kind of cat. They are Apex predators....

love your voice, you should narrate stuff more often!

I was told that, in winter in the Adirondacks, if bobcats don't manage to get an occasional deer, they are unlikely to make it through the winter.

Well versed. Factual information. No crazy intros or obnoxious music.

It's so crazy to me that an animal that isn't that much bigger than a house cat can take down deer.

There aren’t many Bobcats, but there are many Deer notice where the deer was eating there wasn’t much to eat, needing a reduction

In what World is this HD?

Keep this in mind when choosing a skid steer. Bobcat will always outperform Deere.

Why does the commentator think it is unfortunate that the Bobcat killed its prey? And why interfere with a predator going about earning its living.

Tik toker just posted one too. Crazy how such a small animal will go for a larger one that’s as quick

This is powerpointube not youtube

Dan man thats some amazing footage, lucky to get something that cool on cam. Nature is badass!

There's nothing "unfortunate" about a bobcat getting a dinner.

So thanks to your brother, the deer was killed for nothing.

Badass little cat, only wish you had gotten it on video instead of pictures

What kind o food plot is this? All I see is dirt and stones

This is NOT Unfortunate, this is Nature, and the Bobcat Deserves his Meal! (And could be feeding little ones)... I am a Hunter, and I Respect other Hunter's Rights! This Hunter is Exceptional, and Probably worked really hard to pull this off! That's the Problem, People DO NOT Understand Nature, and Screw Up Everything by, Making Misinformed Videos Like this, and Building their Houses in Wild Animal Habitat, and then complain when the Deer, are eating their Plants etc... Educate Yourselves to the Level of Objectivity People, and then we can have an Intellectual Discussion on the Subject! I can see that there are others who Understand, and Agree with me! I am so Thankful for People Like You, PCL Outdoors & Bushcraft! You have your head on straight, and know what you are talking about!!!

We have a lot of bobcat and cougar here in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. I never knew that bobcat hunt deer! Fascinating to see these pix. Thank you!

That cat worked hard to earn that deer, and you took it away from it, that's what's unfortunate, not the deer being dead

Dude snatched Bob's plate

Are you kidding me.Bobcat didn't murder overpopulated deer.It took patience & energy for rare bobcat to get a meal & he scared him off? U owe him food

thats so cool. im probably gonna do the arrow makeing class this year, and bring my friend for the bow makeing
