Our first big storm of the year is forecasted for this weekend. Cleaning off foothold sets won't be fun but is part of the challenge we all deal with. Maybe the storm will alter their movement & patterns.

If you substitute mud for snow down here, then it’s a challenge “we” all deal with, lol. I’m just looking forward to hopefully 4 days of Sunshine and highs in the 50’s...instead of 70-80!!

My 80 y/o houndsman buddy says cats like to move during the snow while everything else is still. All I know is it's snowing now and I plan to head out first thing in the morning looking for tracks.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Right after the snow storm was when I always found fresh bobcat tracks.There would be no snow in the tracks.

If they are anything like lynx,and I suspect they are-they are cats-NV Hermit is correct.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

We had a heck of a storm today. Not a ton of snow, but a lot of blowing, cold, & drifting. Maybe it'll get me some action on the bobcat line. Can't hurt, the way things have been going.

I haven't seen tracks in a couple weeks. They vanished. Strange.
