I have a bobcat picking off my chickens, one by one. At first, it would run out of the woods, grab a free-ranging bird, and be gone before you noticed. Then one day it ran out and grabbed a hen that was 15 feet away from me! So I haven't let my birds out to free range in days. Now it's figured out that it can run up to the fence, growl, and birds will fly out of the pen! And the pen is at least 50x50, so too large to cover. I thought I'd clipped everyone's wings, but I guess I missed a few. (I've got around 80, so it's had to keep track.)
I've set a trap and baited it with a dead rooster or two, but all I've caught is possums, coons, and a buzzard. I've tried dry cat food too, which worked last year, but isn't working now.
Needless to say, I HATE bobcats!
