    I felt like calling the federal officers when I was scouting unit 2 last Thursday evening after a couple of guys told me they saw a guy who looked to be hunting already. I just didn’t see him to be able to confirm.

      Spoke to game warden yesterday in the parking lot of unit 1 and he said that the harvest numbers were way down for the weekend. He was asking about some non-hunters in the area as well.

        the non hunters were 2 girls and a guy. They read the rules, the guy went back and got orange. They either was picked up or turned around. I was told they were headed my way. I rode almost to gate and didn't see them.

                  When I left at 10am, I didn't see a single other vehicle in the main refuge. Only 3 or 4 trucks were at unit #1. Overall, everyone I talked to was very disappointed at the lack of game sightings. I didn't see any scrapes until the last day. Hopefully, they will be moving for the next group. Seemed like they were holding up alot closer to the main road than expected. We spent the first couple days riding into unit 3 and then realized there were more animals being seen in 8 close to the roads.

                    We saw this guy. At 5pm on Thursday he was walking the brush in full camo with an arrow knocked.

                      Looks like they will be getting some rain to muddy things up before our hunt next week, but those daytime/nighttime temps look amazing. Will be nice to not be pouring sweat out just standing still down there!

                          Hunted the 11/13-17 hunt, all in unit 1, I'm fairly new at this, was set up wrong. Saw a big cow and a big hog, the cow running and out of range, the big hog closer to a big gator than to me, no chance of winning that fight so I passed on the shot. Did see this ocelot, though, so a very cool thing during a hunt during which the temperature was WAY TOO HIGH for animals to be moving around.

                            Looks like a bobcat to me.

                              Definitely a bobcat.

                              Even though the refuge makes it sound like it is loaded with ocelots, it is super rare to see them. They live in very specific locations and are primarily seen at night. I think we see a lot of bobcats that can have a more distinct circular pattern causing the confusion every year.

                                Sure, you can argue with the USFWS biologist who confirmed the ID. Long tail, distinctive and characteristic white marks on back of ears (not visible in this photo). My word of advice to you: don't enter a bobcat vs. ocelot ID contest. And, don't shoot a cat thinking it is a bobcat unless you want your own striped clothing holiday and ginormous fine, courtesy of The Man.
