This happened to me Christmas Weekend.

I was hunting on some family property in SouthEast Alabama. The property is Riverfront and We have had problems with people coming onto the property at the river bridge. We stay in pretty good contact with the Game Wardens and they are pretty good to help us keep an eye out. Anyway I was on my son's truck and parked it at the highway and walked into the woods on a good trailto hunt a creek botton surrounded by ClearCut. About 8am I noticed movement on the trail I walked in on and it was the Game Warden. He walked close enough I could speak to him to get his attention without speaking loudly, and I spoke to him. He realized it was me and he told me he didn't recognizethe truck, we talked a minuteand made a his visit quick and turned around and left the same way he came in. Not 40 yards behind him followed a large Bobcat. I put the Bobcat in my crosshairs and thought about shooting it, but I felt it was too close to the Warden for me to shoot. I don't know how far the Bobcat followed him, but Iwatched him follow him for 30 yards or more then lost sight of the Bobcat due to the undergrowth.
