your 2 girls gave me flashbacks of my 2 boys and my curs.Thank you.

Nice "bobcat" I did a study on those kind of bobcats one year. Heaviest was in the mid thirties if I remember right. Only one that was 30 +. It was a trapping and parasite study but the big guy was shot. Had some nasty broken teeth.

Do you think they ever kill deer? V EvLynch apparently claimed Maine Bobcat killed deer quite often. But if you look at the pictures in that book about him, some of those bobcats look like they must go about 50 lb.

that is a lynx with tags in his ears eb

EB nice lynx and who was the young guy with that other bobcat! Butch BG - before grey!
Nice cats.
My PA cat last year was a Tom weighed 29 pounds and was 29” from bore to base of tail. Long but skinny. He was a younger adult Tom. This years cat weighed 21 pounds and was an older female with worn K9s. She measured 24” from nose to base of tail. Both at the Taxidermist.
I must be doing something wrong because the guys out west get hundreds of dollars for their cats and mine cost me hundreds!!!!

how much do you suppose this one weighs?

Didn't weigh this big scrapper but he had to be 40+. Scarred eye and missing an ear.

Seeing bobcats in the wild that are not in a trap is rare, but we have a bunch around us in Lycoming County, and there I have watched them hunting three times, and wandering through several other times. About ten years ago I watched a big bobcat try to stalk a fawn hidden in the brush. Every time the cat got too close, the doe would rush her and make a big show. Eventually the mama cat turned around and left and then three kits tumbled out of a hollow log right behind the cabin and the four of them made their way up the hill. They certainly do eat deer, probably little ones that can't run, either young or old.

Thanks Renny.
You and your daughters get some big Bobcats.

Before I knew better we would get them in coyote sets & ME Fish & Wildlife would come out and tag them.

Younger ones have nice teeth.



The tagging station:

I was just watching to see how long it took somebody to figure out that that was a Lynx. Pretty obvious if you know what your looking at. Two things give it away quickly. The large feet and the long hair tufts on the ears.
