What are the best bobcat states for nonresident trappers?

Thanks

Probably Wyoming.

I think Nevada and Montana - both good bobcat states - are resident only.

Mississippi and South Carolina. You can't hardly keep cats out of your sets.
Non resident friendly and no limits and shirt sleeve trapping.
Hides aren't of much value but If you want numbers those are the places to go.

I never caught a cat In my life and went to MS and caught 44 In month. I trapped In SC for 15 years and I lost count of the cats I caught.
Probably most of the south Is like that.

Not Wisconsin...there's public land, BUT it takes forever to get a tag it seems.

Beav, that's some big numbers down south. Didn't you have to contend with snakes though.

Nevada seems to be up on the list.

Not for non-residents.

The snakes aint what folks make em out to be down here. Beav is right there is a ton of cats down here. Not many are gonna be thrown in the select pile though.

Kansas can be pretty good.

If your home state doesn't allow you to trap cats , Wyoming won't either..

Depends if your talking quantity or quality. Oh and by the way Kansas sucks for cats, Nebraska is much better. Lol

northwest Texas.

I think the cat game is about over. I say they'll become a specialty high fashion item with demand considerably lower than supply.

That will likely depend on your definition of best.

My definition would be above average quality, good quantity, and plenty of available ground via public land and/or road right of way trapping. The available ground in good cat territory is probably the most important aspect for out of state trapping, at least for me.

I don't know the answer based on my definition.

I would tend to lean towards Wyoming but without having put boots on the ground up there that is just speculation.

ive trapped cats in wy. jan and feb in cat country is most definitely winter. big remote country also. don't leave to set or check without the stuff you need to stay out for several days in bad weather. you don't often see other people in good weather. bring stuff for beakdowns or getting stuck. help is not real likely. people are very friendly you just may not see any


cell phones work in town. leave town and they are expensive time keepers

Haha, there are spots in Nebraska are pretty good but overall not close to the numbers in Kansas.

Might have to go to the moon for that.

Spot on because there Is no such place on earth.

There are places with high quantity and quality and endless amounts of ground but that type of
I do will cost ya
