In the wild they can live to 12 years or older and can attain weights of 30 pounds. They can easily bring down a grown deer. Bobcats are the most abundant wildcat in the United States and they have the greatest range of all native North American cats. Males are referred to as “toms,” females as “queens,” and the young are called “kittens.” A group of bobcats is called a “clowder.” Bobcat lays claim to deer carcass Though bobcats prefer to eat rabbits, they will hunt a variety of things including insects, chickens, small rodents, deer, and geese and other birds. They prefer to kill their own prey but, as can be seen in the accompanying photos, they will also come to my Golden Eagle photo site in the DSRF that is baited with road- killed deer.

    Chimney Rock State Park Master Plan 2011 4NEEDS ASSESSMENT Introduction In order to develop an appropriate design program for Chimney Rock State Park, it is important to consider the outdoor and recreational needs of a diverse range of past, present and future visitors. The assessment of these needs helps to define development alternatives for Chimney Rock State Park. A definition of ”need” comes from several sources: an examination of state and national surveys of outdoor needs and use in west- ern North Carolina, opinion surveys, and direct public input. It is clear through public input that potential users of Chimney Rock State Park are interested in a variety of park and recreational facilities. User trends and needs for specific recreational spaces and facilities have been identified both throughout the Hickory Nut Gorge region and the western part of North Carolina. Determining Regional & Local Need For Natural Resource-based Recreation Chimney Rock State Park is a world-class park and must be designed, developed and managed to meet di- verse visitor needs. Therefore, the need for natural resource-based recreation was examined through local, regional, and national sources of input. Examples include the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, the National Survey of Recreation and the Environment, online surveys and public comment forms specific to Chimney Rock State Park, and public input from a planning workshop. Specifically, this chap- ter: • Examines existing natural resource- based recreation in western North Carolina and the Hickory Nut Gorge Region; • Examines the concentration of A variety of activities natural resource-based recreation and range of abilities are using a recent user survey, a taken into account for the demand analysis, and geographic needs assessment.
