She done good. I wouldn't want to try that barehanded.
Thankfully a bobcat will go down fast to a pole noose or strangulation of any kind. Ask any trapper that tried to use one to release a trapped bobcat. I caught a few in leg holds over the years, pole axed the first one with a piece of shovel handle I carried. After that I carried a .22 pistol.
But every trapper I ever talked to said you can't use a pole noose on them, they will die faster than any other animal. You'll kill a bobcat in 30 second if you choke it down. My guess, from skinning a few for the pelt, is that their neck isn't very muscular like you would think.
Here's one guy that posted to that mountain lion video the guy used the pole noose on:
Looks like he choked that lion down pretty good.
I know Dad caught a bobcat a few years ago that he let loose like that and he didn’t have the noose on it but a few seconds and he didn’t think the thing was gonna make it.
Another guy on that forum:
I've never seen anything die as fast as a bobcat that has had that catch pole noose cinched up around it's neck. I've let some small ones go and you have to be careful or you will kill that sucker in less than 30 seconds if you have it too tight.

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
