got my first day pic of a cat the other day if i have time ill post it. i wish illinois had a bobcat season i want one in my room
Im not sure if PA has a season or if its even legal to kill but im with ya i think that fur would look pretty good on my bed =]
It is always neat to catch one on cam. Those are pretty good pictures, and it is really cool to get more than one. I got one on cam last year slinking toward some birds near a feeder, but no pounce pics. I see a few every year, and call them in when predator hunting fairly often. It is not out of the question to have one check things out when you are on the ground calling during spring turkey season. I have killed a few in the past, but haven't in a while. I don't feel like their population is out of sync with the rest of the critters on my property. I feel the same about foxes. Coyotes are always a problem though, they are to be shot on sight.

OK here’s my bobcat story. I was sitting in a tree one sunny morning 2 Octobers ago. All of the sudden I hear this doe blow. There was no way she could be blowing at me; I hadn’t moved anything but my eyelids in the last 10 minutes and she was a good 60-80 yards off in the woods to my 10:00, I couldn’t see her at all. Then she blows again a little closer, then again a little closer. Then I see some movement in the woods coming towards the food plot I was hunting. It was a bobcat with that doe on its tail. She’d run up to about 10-15 yards of the cat and blow a couple times. As the cat moved on she’d run up again blow some more. She literally chased him out into the food plot. Absolutely unreal. When the cat got out into the plot he turned away from me and went up the hill. The doe stopped at the edge of the plot just out of range and eventually went back the way she came. So about an hour later, as my morning hunt is coming to an end I have these two does working their way in from my 8:00. I would have shot a doe that morning for sure. These two deer need to come up about another 15 yards to give me a good 15 yard shot with a clean lane. Just about then this squirrel runs down the big oak I’m setting in and the deer run off into the woods about 40 yards and start blowing, never to be seen again. Now I’m standing there thinking to myself, “You’ve got to be kidding me. These deer have got the kahonas to run off a bobcat but they’ll let themselves get chased off by a little ol’ squirrel.” Just my luck.
Bahahaha it's the same thing as them not bein afraid of cars goin +60mph but freak when they hear leaves hahaha
Those r sweet pictures. This old guy down the rd traps a ton in the winter and gets the odd lynx in his fox sets. He's shown me a bunch of them skinned out but never a bobcat.
