The first round of shots cost the woman who choked the rabid bobcat to death about $10K.
""DeDe was attacked by a Bobcat that tested positive for rabies and now has to have treatments to keep herself safe. The shots are around $10,000 each set and she needs at least 4 more.," the page's description reads. "As we all know money doesn't grow on trees, so Im asking on behalf of her and her family that you donate anything that you can! She is a lady who would give you the shirt off her back and will drop whatever she is doing to come help! I know because she has for me! She loves hard and is one heck of a woman!""

Yes... something many folks do not consider is the potential 'cost' of medical treatment IF/When an outdoor activity goes wrong.
The case cited above was just a rare happenstance...but (rabies shots) and other medical treatments will surely exceed $50K before its all said and done...and she was just minding her own business. Those of us who routinely seek our pleasures hunting, fishing, etc...must realize there is real potential for mishap even when we are being careful.
Snakebites for instance (depending upon how severe) can quickly go well North of $100K.
