He must have migrated from the south east.Too bad he didnt come here from out west.
I will put up a couple pics when I get it boarded beside some lynx pelts i caught at the same set a couple days before the bobcat

I just got done reading this whole thread Boco. It’s got me all pumped and primed to get out there when our season gets going. Thanks for taking time to share.

Have you finished the book I sent you? Figured you might recognize some of the areas, as well as the traditions.
Great pictures, by the way.


Just doing what I want now.

You can tell you're a lynx trapper, not a bobcat trapper Boco. You showed two pictures of that cats back and no pictures of his belly! wink

I wondered how far south of you the bobcats ended. I was surprised to see you had skunks, I figured the cats would range farther north than the skunks.

The belly looks different than lynx-spots are more distinct.

The belly is 85% of the value on a bobcat. That isn't a bad belly, looks nice and white with good distinct black spots, but it looks hourglassed (although that may be the way he is hanging). I'd say that is probably a B belly. Still should go for three times what a lynx will.

I sent a couple lynx to the auction last winter to see how the prices were coming along-the avg of the two was $208CAD ea after deductions.
6oo sounds good for the bobcat

Lynx belly for comparison.

Hard to believe when comparing the fur that a bobcat is worth more than a lynx, there is just so much more fur on a lynx. But color is everything to the buyers.

Yes,the spots on the lynx look more muted because of the much longer fur I suppose.
The bobcat belly looks Brighter for sure.
It is too bad I caught the bobcat early,would have been intersting to see it if it was fully prime in dec/jan if it could have survived the deep snow and lean winter months here.

Bobcat spots also can dilute a little has the fur gets longer. My guess is your kitty has a C belly after it’s stretched.

This is a C belly from my line.

Mustard packed sardines or Herring in Oil ? I prefer the mustard. Too good to use for bait. Good snack and protein. Just need some crackers and cheese now.

That's a pretty good price for those coast range cats. I can remember doing an awful lot of those for a 30-35 average.
