"Well, old boy," Tom said, addressing the gander that now stood flapping his wings at us a few hundred feet away, "you've lost your women-folks. We may as well have them as the bobcats." He fetched the axe, and we cut away the ice round the geese and then carried six loads of them down to camp.
Later on, a storm having done considerable damage at the school, they were given an unexpected fall vacation, and the chums decided to spend it on Wildcat Island, situated at the foot of the lake. There were several strange things connected with this island, such as a mysterious wild man who had been seen there; and besides, it was shunned because of the fierce bobcats that had possession.
"No, sir! Never no more!" declared Tommy, earnestly. Bad as the scare had been, its effects were not lasting, and Ruth and Alice were able to take their part in the drama that was being filmed. Jed Moulton looked on, his eyes big with wonder. "That beats shootin' bobcats!" he declared at the conclusion of the performance. Jed at once became a favorite with all, and when Mr.
"You're quite mistaken, Daddy, really," interposed his daughter. "She and Mr. Blake were wrecked in Africa and lived on roast leopards. We'll have to feed them on mountain lions and bobcats." "If you mean that, Miss Chuckie," put in Gowan, "I can get a bobcat in time for dinner tomorrow." The girl led the general outburst of laughter over this serious proposal. "Oh! oh! Kid!
Then, too, Perk kept on the alert for any peril that might by chance lie in wait along the trail there were other dangers besides that solitary rattlesnake that might suddenly crop up to give them a chill how about those nasty looking water moccasins that swarmed in the oozy swamp? what of the ferocious bobcats such as were said to crouch on the lower limb of some tree close beside a woods trail, waiting to drop down on any moving object that came along? yes, and other things just as creepy that his excited mind could readily conjure up?
" After that cat," continued Shoop, "but the cat never treed, I reckon, for pretty soon back comes Bondsman, lookin' as disgusted as a hen in a rainstorm. 'We're gettin' too old, I tells Bondsman " "Ain't you goin' to let him in?" queried Lorry. " We're gettin' too old to chase bobcats just for fun," concluded Shoop. "What was you sayin'?" "Your dog wants to come in." "That's right.
Rather it is the fault of their environment to which they have been transplanted. Back in their own native vaterland they were always used for medium-sized game. And what is more they are good at it! Come here, Pete, they shan't abuse you! Coyotes and bobcats are medium-size game, someone ventured to point out. Not at all, medium-size game should live in holes, like badgers.

The presence of these many birds and animals adds greatly to the attractiveness of the forest. Predatory animals, such as wolves, bears, mountain lions, coyotes and bobcats also live in the forest.
Then I caught three bobcats last winter, seven foxes, eleven 'coon, half a dozen 'possums, an' two black b'ars, though one o' them I shot arter we had a right lively argyment." "Whew! then there are bears around here?" asked Will, eagerly; "what wouldn't I give to get a picture of one in its wild state?" The old man laughed.
"Catamounts and lynx and bobcats like fresh meat, of course; but you don't think now, do you, Max, they'd hurt those beautiful five-pronged horns?" "Of course not," replied the other, walking on again. "Because we ought to get those to mount and keep in one of our rooms at home, Max."
