A big bobcat or big coyote? If you had to go into hand to paw combat with one, which would you rather it be? No weapons, sticks, rocks or anything. Think fall of the year. No heavy clothing or gloves.

A coyote can use it's feet but it's claws are fairly blunt. A cat has scimitars on all 4 feet. You don't want him digging in.

Coyote. Every time.

When I trapped bears for the USMC at Camp Lejeune we caught a bobcat in an Aldrich snare. Being 23 and full of dumbassery I volunteered to get him out of the snare. That cat gave me a lesson real quick on how NOT to try and get a 28 lb bobcat out of a snare.

When I was a young boy my grandfather found out I was setting traps for muskrats. His word of advise for trapping with leg hold traps were if I caught someones dog to throw a coat over it and then sit on it while releasing the trap. If I caught someones house cat his advise was to get a big stick and kill it because that then would tear you up if you tried to release it alive.

I'd pick a 'yote, myself.

But, remember a couple years ago the gal from, I think, Georgia who killed a cat with her bare hands when it tried to fugg with one of her grandbabies ??

Coyote. No question.

I used to run a trap line many years ago. Caught both coyote and bobcat. Learned quickly not to mess with bobcats.

I released several cats from foothold traps using the coat method without injury. Cats usually damage themselves badly enough fighting a foothold that it's hardly worth releasing them though. Dogs are often easy to release with very little damage to themselves other than a sore foot,

Yeah, kinda figured it would go the way of the yote. That would be my choice too. I'd hate to have to mess with a pissed off bobcat.

You don't get to mess with a pissed off bobby hand to paw. It's the other way around.

I have heard that a big manx cat is capable of disemboweling a dog, if the dog makes the fatal mistake of pinning the upside down cat to the ground.

I sure as hell do not want to tangle with his bigger, badder, wilder cousin.

Cats got more powerful jaws too? Shorter, but more powerful...

But is it really one on one?
Cats rant pack animals.

Yotes will team up on you....tho you might not see the other..
Something to consider....
