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.

Snipes/Clemson Hydrogeology Symposium Field Trip Guidebook Geology of Dupont State Forest and the Standingstone Mountain Quadrangle, SC and NC Triple Falls, Dupont State Forest, NC Field Trip Leaders: Jack Garihan and Scott Brame April 5 and 7, 2017 Overview of the Geology of Standingstone Mountain Quadrangle, South Carolina and North Carolina John M. Garihan, Earth and Environmental Sciences Department, Furman University, Greenville, SC 20613 Introduction Standingstone Mountain 7.5-minute quadrangle (SM) is situated within the rugged part of the western Inner Piedmont. Its southern portion lies across the North Carolina-South Carolina state line at the Eastern Continental Divide (~3000 foot elevation). The escarpment of the Blue Ridge Front winds its way across the southern margin of SM, with lines of impressive exfoliation domes (balds) formed on Table Rock gneiss. Balds that are developed on more feldspathic Henderson Gneiss are less common. The highest elevations in SM are 3600 - 3700 feet; local relief across this rugged landscape is 1400 - 2000 feet. Jones Gap State Park in South Carolina and the Dupont State Forest in North Carolina provide public access to the scenic landscape of the region via extensive hiking and horseback riding trails. Five Paleozoic fault-bound crystalline sheets occur in the Inner Piedmont in Standingstone Mountain quadrangle (Figure 1). Stacked structurally lowest to highest, northwest to southeast, they involve: 1) Henderson Gneiss, Sheet I; 2) Chauga River Formation (muscovite-biotite-feldspar- quartz gneiss and schist, with a siltstone protolith), Sheet II; 3) Henderson Gneiss, sheet III; 4) Table Rock gneiss of the Walhalla nappe, Sheet IV; and 5) Poor Mountain and Tallulah Falls Formations of the Six Mile thrust sheet, Sheet V.

We encourage your comments on all aspects of the plan. E-mail comments to: [email protected] Subject: DuPont State Forest LRMP If email is not available, written comments can be submitted to the primary plan contact listed above. 1 Plan Development This plan was developed through the combined effort of personnel within the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources, with direction and recommendations provided by the DuPont State Forest Interagency Planning Team as appointed by the Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The intent of this plan is to provide the ecological context within which management will be conducted on DuPont State Forest, to describe the desired future condition of natural resources throughout the forest toward which management will be directed, and to outline appropriate management techniques to work towards those conditions. The goals and objectives presented in this plan were developed to support other statewide initiatives regarding natural resource conservation and education. Specific strategic documents utilized during the creation of this plan include North Carolina’s Forest Resources Assessment (2010), The North Carolina Wildlife Action Plan (2005), The Partners in Flight Bird Conservation Plan for the Southern Blue Ridge (1999), The North Carolina Environmental Education Plan (2009), and The North Carolina Forestry Best Management Practices Manual Related to Water Quality (2006).
