Rockashelle- awe sorry bout you duckies!!! ): but please don't hurt the bobcat if possible, it must be hard being a big ol bobcat with nothing to eat.. You could have animal control come and move it somewhere where it can't harm any people or livestock?

I know Sparky... Breaks my heart however; they won't come relocate him. Apparently with the boundaries they keep... Moving him to another location puts two bobcats at risk. They don't play well this time of year and if a battle between two of them occurs, they both risk injury & death. Don't feel confident enough in myself to trap him... And re-locate him myself or believe me I would. I love animals... All of them. It really sucks because the more they develop in this area... The more wildlife ends up on our property. We have deer, black bear, coons, possom, quail, plus more I probably don't want (mice). Good for the chickens though. That's why I spent over $800 on electric nets... So I wouldn't have to ever be put in this position. What I didn't realize is that there was a cat large enough on my property to leap 4' in a single bound. There's nothing next to the fences for them to leap from. I don't have a cat so I have no problem with the coyotes running the property. And up until now.... Nothing has ever made its way in.

I think next spring, I'm going to look into a guardian dog. It just breaks my heart all the way around. I have two very young nephews, and 5 children of my own that walk our wooded driveway everyday to and from the school bus. Not to mention, some of my birds are from Montana and not super easy for me to replace especially their quality for a threatened breed. I will try and get a hold of my friend who is a vet tomorrow to see if there are any other options. Right now, game & wildlife left it as our only option.

Ugh!

Just popping in to say hello! It's been a rough morning here. A bobcat got in to the duck pen last night and had three ducks disappear, feathers everywhere. My DH stayed out real late to see if it would come back and it did. All my pens are coyote proof, apparently.... Not bobcat proof. I locked them in the coop inside the pen (all hot wired poultry fencing) and lost the forth one this morning. Ugh! So they have all been moved now to my yard and just waiting for that bad boy to show up again tonight!
On the plus side... Still have 6 dancing eggs on day 12 in the bator. MarineCorpFarmer (MCF.. going to start abbreviation, your name is toooooo long). Would love to see you setups!

Sorry sparky but a big cat like that aint nothing to fool with. Once they find easy food they'll keep coming back. And without proper caging and training trying to trap them can end badly ...they can hurt a human bad, even kill with a single bite to the neck.
