Bobcat Food Cache

 


Following a fisher track in the snow led me to a food cache where a partial opossum lay under a pile of leaves. While investigating , no blood was visible on the  blanket of snow, just drag marks from the dispatch site to the base of large diameter tree. Speculation on my part. Fisher dispatched the opossum, dragged it to the base of the tree, then went tree bound with it. Once in the tree , started to eat it with pieces falling to the ground. Then the bobcat found the pieces that fell and made the food cache. The bobcat was concerned with something in the tree constantly looking up. In the end neither the bobcat nor the fisher claimed the last of the food cache. The video shows the culprit.
