After 35 years of trapping/hunting, this is the first bobcat I've ever trapped (or seen) in my county. Released unharmed and hopefully our state gets a trapping season. Very cool animal!

Looks like it might be a well marked cat, WTG.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

EJM...
Nice cat... I've caught some as well but never seem to get one of the 1,000 permits from the DNR.
I'm tired of that 'cause you can't get your money back if not picked for a permit so I just turn them loose.

Nice work!


If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

Nice looking cats fellars! I have also turned loose the last few I have caught also. I can keep them out of my back woods canine sets. Plus they are usually caught before our season starts.

They do love to hit the deer carcasses I put out up here for canines. They are generally daytime visitors while the canines prefer early and late.

Great catch to the OP!

That's exciting. Hopeful that you'll see a legal season soon. The first one you can keep is a Big pleasant memory forever etched in one's mind. Now if I could just get a SE Nebr weasel.........

Here's hoping you get a season as well. We got one about 8 years ago in East River SD and it has been great! At least you got to see one up close!
