While deer hunting I watched two animals brouse around in front of me appox twenty yards. size of a large cat with distinct markings of black ears and black short tail with each having white tips . Body mostly grey, no stripes. The next day I saw a bob cat which matches your pictures. THis was in Calhoun county close to Hardin, Il. What were the ones I described?

Without a photo I can't positively ID the animals, but the description you provided sounds like you saw two bobcats.
