At least I hope that's why she's here so often. That spot in the field is ripe with mole tunnels. I wish the picture was clearer but I was about 600' away.

That should stop the problem

Especially if she has kits somewhere.

They were released here in IN some years ago. What was once never seen has now become quite common where I hunt. I have had numerous sightings. If they work on moles I want one for a pet.

In the 2018 Mass. deer season I was sitting on the ground with my back against a big pine dressed in a blaze-orange vest and hat and a big Bobcat about 30 lbs. walked past me at less than twenty feet and never even saw me. Plenty of them here is Mass.

I have had similar incidents while turkey hunting where I am of the opinion they came to my calling. On one occasion he or she was in no real hurry to leave and showed no real concern for my presence at a distance of some 20 yards or so. They are beautiful.

I have seen them while deer hunting before and see them occasionally while riding around.

I've seen a couple while deer hunting. If they will kill the moles in the yard all are welcome here.

I’ll catch a couple on trail cams and occasionally see one dart across a two-track. Pretty cool to know they are out there but I’m guessing they have an impact on the grouse population.

I think their impact on the grouse population isn't any greater than any other predator be it a fox, raccoon, hawk or owl. The grouse population where I deer hunt is actually increasing and I've seen three bobcats there in the last couple of years. They need to make a living in the woods just like any other inhabitant.

I couldn't say with any authority, but I think their diet is primarily vermin, Though I'm positive I saw one trout watching.
When I mow one field which only gets cut once per year, they, and fox, will be seen just watching for field mice.

Anyone ever heard one bawling at night? Guaranteed to make the hair stand up on your neck.

Nothing as freakish as a Fisher Cat.

They are hell on turkey poults around here.
