i dont have any bobcat pics caught on tape yet, i just saw it with my own eyes. but the raccoons are still running amok. i caught a raccoon tail on tape at 4 am yesterday morning but they havent been in the trap in like 3 nights.

Beefy,
Are you trying to let us know you're slipping????
How will you ever get enough pelts for a coat to go with your hat, mitts and muff???
OML please keep the trap set and coon skins coming

 

[beefy]

ok now i have a mystery animal to identify.

hint: its male

and likes to flip traps over before it enters them..

and has a short tail...

Did you actually get the Cat in the trap, I know they can be prety clever about getting in and out before the trap springs.
looks to be a young bob cat too.

BOY OH BOY he sure is a BOY !!! LOL

I agree, young Bobcat.

 

[Pattymal]

I'm horrified that there are that many critters going after your eggs!

 

[beefy]

for real.

caught another chicken this morning... that makes my 6th chicken, 4 of which have been the same chicken.

it went in the cage after it flipped it on the side so that it wouldnt spring shut. so i didnt catch it.

do bobcats eat coons?

We can only hope that they do.

You could try baiting the trap with a dead coon???

I dont think they actually eat them but they will kill them to keep them out of their snack bar.
If little else the smell of a Bob Cat shoulld scare the rotten coons off.
Hard to say which preditor is worse.
