Happy New Year, everyone!
Before we dive headfirst into the grind of 2025, I’d like to wish all our readers a fantastic start to the year. I hope your holiday season was merry and bright—or at the very least, better than that of some poor bobcat who made the fatal mistake of wandering onto Kevin Stitt’s land.
Check out this tragic gem of a post our backwoods governor shared on January 2nd:
Yikes! Looks like we found one animal that didn’t eat its black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day.
I’ve never seen a bobcat in the wild, and with Kevin Stitt now acting as the self-appointed wildlife enforcement officer, I guess I never will!
In other news, what an asshole.
I get that some backwoods country folk enjoy killing defenseless animals for sport and pleasure, but did he really have to brag about it on social media? Congrats. You killed an animal with a gun from 100 yards away. Good job, tough guy.
“Whatever, Patrick! Hunting is an Oklahoma tradition that makes real men feel tough and masculine! And as Brent Skarky once taught us, bobcats are a nuisance! They threaten chickens and livestock. Governor Stitt has every right to protect his land and animals!”
Sure, I guess those are fair points. But didn’t Stitt once claim every square inch of Oklahoma for God? If that’s true, does this mean he’s technically poaching on the Almighty’s land? Asking for the bobcat’s ghost.
Anyway, regardless of what you think about Stitt’s braggadocious hunting exploits, let this serve as a cautionary tale to all the wildlife out there who are simply minding their own business—respect Kevin Stitt’s property rights… or else.
Also, who knows, maybe the bobcat had rabies, so it could still get the last laugh in all of this.
Stay with The Lost Ogle. We'll keep you advised.
