Wow...those are great pics! Did the bobcat eventually go after the turkeys?

No.
We watched him circle them for about half an hour- hiding behind big rocks and peeking at them- trying to get closer. When he finally just sat (pictures) the turkeys not only didn't run, they all turned at once (more than 20 of them) and stared him down- seriously.
There were so many turkeys I really felt that the cat was afraid. I'm sure 20+ pairs of claws gave him pause!

I took the pics from inside- maybe 20 yards away, but we were no more than maybe 40 yards away while watching outside. He wasn't interested in us.

Default Mountain Lion and cub

I spoke to an employee from a local landscape company about wild animals since I saw a bobcat on my driveway last week.

He said a few weeks ago he was driving out of Wolfeboro on 109 towards Route 16, and right past Wentworth Park, beyond the Top of the Hill Farm, a mother and cub mountain lion ran across the road in front of his truck.

He also said that last winter, one of the homes he works at off of 109A in Tuftonboro had huge cat paw marks in the snow with dragging tail marks in their yard. He is positive it was a mountain lion and saw the tracks often during plowing days, but never saw the cat.

The bobcat I saw was also seen by my mail truck guy since it crossed right in front of him leaving the house. Crazy!
