Bobcat

[Doc7]

Lucky you! A bobcat is a rare catch indeed.

Guessing you aren’t going to spend 500 dollars getting it mounted - I sure would be tempted though...

Congrats on the catch! In my experience bobcats are hard to catch! May I ask how you managed to capture it?

I stand corrected! Reread the post and you're right.

Congratulations! Dead cats eat no birds! Good on you for checking into your rights with the appropriate local authority before shooting. Too small for a rug, (bobcat =not a cougar) but you could make some really nice slippers or a seat cover with that hide...

Ok well I wasn’t sure if she caught it first then shot it

caught first in a good trap with live bait. bait was safe but bobcat not so much.

I gave it to a friend but we have cougars out here too.If I catch one I will call the game warden to come remove it DEAD or Alive

I had over a dozen birds killed by a bobcat. It dug under a fence. I now have electric wire around all of my coops and pens. Recently a coyote tried to dig under a fence but got zapped by the electric wire and abandoned the attempt. If I get a shot at it, it will be history.
