Thank you , I dont kill out of fear, and dont believe in killing in massive numbers (with the exception of wild hogs and coyotes Invasive species here)i knew there was another side to em, and have seen and even called in the kits while predator hunting (i always pass on them) you...

No I never said we don't have mountain lions, just no reported sightings in the NEIGHBORHOOD. That's the reason I didn't think it was a mt. lion. But now I'm starting to think otherwise. It could have come during the night.
There very elusive and wont be seen if they dont want to be...
oh no, I am so sorry, its always hard to put a face with a name on the pesky o puter. hey, did you say you found some scat, I know it sounds kinda like I am a sicko, but much can be learned from your foe if you post a pic of it,

That's a good point, but ask the general population out in my neck of the woods, dead center in the middle of suburbia if we have bobcats, and 98% of them will tell you no way. The ones that have seen them in the area, generally see a mother with her cubs, but...
Hey kari, reread the first 2 pages of the thread, wont coyotes leave an area if a mt. lion comes in? the op said the coyotes left and couldnt figure out why? That would be the reason, wouldnt it?

That is very cool...well, unless the turkey had an owner...sometimes they will be brave and take down something big...if they think they can get away with not expending much energy, and they are pretty sure the catch is a sure thing. We are doing a ton of research on urban vs. rural...
defintly dont use chicken wire, I wouldnt use hardware cloth either with something that size, ive seen some cool traps made from chainlink and galvenized pipe, a little harder to work with bit no escaping,

good thinking, but dont forget the chupacobra, a skilled predator found in ky, texas, and cali
O by the way i got to watch a bobcat take a hen turkey back in the spring, i watched as the bobcat hid in a small patch of brush then waited till the turkeys got to him, then bam like...

We will, we will, sheesh! We don't have a trap and traps cost $75-$200. So we're working on building one.
So what is the trap being built of? the diminsions etc..

well, we have had a lot of people claim to have bobcat/domestic hybrids, but we have yet to verify any of them. However, I would not put it past a bobcat to TRY. We have many "barn cats" at the facility, some of them have even become surrogate siblings for our orphan bobs. Bobcats are...

It was a 1 foot area, oh my anything could have went through... esp chupacobra
Exactly! the claw marks were so big but it squeezed through a tiny space with a ten pound orpington. What kind of animal is that!?

Oh I know what cat's can do, but the area I saw the feathers trail through was 1 foot of space. I couldn't imagine a full grown mountain lion squeezing through. Maybe a juvenile?
