    Post Caracal Report

    An interesting comment was just left on the Natural Bushcraft article UK Big Cats - Local Sightings in Cornwall link: http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/wi...-cornwall.html ...

It has been confirmed by our local vets as a big cat attack. The night before in Tredinnick, a goat was attacked again with a major bite to the side of it's neck. I reckon someone's exotic Caracal escaped sometime. People are getting scared with Creally Park being between the two attacks.
    This made me search for Caracal and I stumbled across this wonderful clip:


    Man I wish I had more time on my hands to go hunting big-cats with my cameras! These reports of big-cats are either side of where I live, within a mile radius.

    I was out once in the woods around the Barnstaple area and came across what I believe were wolf prints these were about the same size as my feet and I am size 9, however the bizarre thing here was that there were only 2 tracks side by side not made by a four legged creature. Any ideas...?

    Its those night stalkers migrating from Ilfracombe. Most of the prey has been had there already so they are having to go farther afield now. Happy Bonzo knows all about them.

    If you get a dog paw print in mud it seems to expand to at least twice the original paw size

    More likely some one from Ilfracombe though
    Only my dog can judge me

    There is alot of knuckle dragging in the ilfracombe area so I guess that would go with the animal tracks lol
