~ADC~ OP The Count Joined: Jun 2010 Iowa	I was recently told of someone near here that claimed they had caught a bobcat in excess of 52lbs. I wasn't aware they got that big. Who has pictures of one that big they have caught and weighed? www.iowatrapperstalk.com

I have a picture of one that has pretty gray and true blue colors or so it looks in the coat from a trail cam. It was young one and had a sibling with that sure did look like a lynx cross.
