Human deterrent against bobcat? - Page 2

the ones here live so close to people they could care less, I normally catch a few a year  for what ever reason they seem to be particularly fond of turkeys and peafowl

My personal experience with bobcat is that they do not care, and at night they REALLY do not care.  I had one stalk some of my goats with me standing there with a flash light on it.  I lost 2 guinea hens, in the day and a half dozen chickens , once again during the day to them. (not all at once, spread out)

They can clear a 10 foot fence???  I was hopeing to one day fenceing in about a acre around the barn up to 8 or 10 feet high chian link.  Are you sure they can scale 10 feet of chain link?  sigh

Dont put anyting past a bobcat, and i'd say human urine will not do anything to them.  Its secure shelters, very good guard dogs, or spending half your time sitting around with a gun.

The bobcats around here are now eating house cats, my dad saw one with a dead white one in its mouth, obviously cat ladies have been shooting at them, it's so agile, my dad almost shot it, but it's got the cat-like reflexes.

B'cats are fairly easy to cage trap as far as steel traps anything that will attract a house cat will bring a b'cat in feathers hanging around the trap christmas tinsel C/D's spinning in the wind etc catnip that I grow in my herb bed works well too

I caught this one in a steel trap using Tinks Doe In Heat lure ;

I considered taxidermy, but my mom was like "Just, no." 

The one around here looks exactly like that, but bigger tufts, hiding right there next to the gate.
