Was out running my beagle on a farm i rent in sw dekald co. In a mature woods with a large pine tree wind break the pup treed what i believe was a bobcat. Are there any other sightings of bobcats in that area. The animal was in one of the pines so my view wasn't the best, but it sure didn't look like any house cat i've seen, and it was much bigger than a house cat.

I haven't had any bobcat sightings in that area, but they are found in DeKalb County. So it is possible that the animal you saw was a bobcat.
