Was that on the cover of a Blackie's Blends catalog several years ago? OUTSTANDING portrayal of a beautiful cat that stands out even though it is trying to blend in .

Looks like a pretty nine cat for PA What model/size is the trap?

this is one of the best cats i ever caught

I have literally hundreds if not thousands of pictures of bobcats. Most of them of course aren't very good. Here are a couple treed with the hounds and then the last one is one I released out of a wolf trap. He stood around and posed for me after being released, in fact he wouldn't leave and let me reset the trap.

Some I got this year.

Danny that's a dandy.

A few cats from over the years.
Thanks again Jack, for the Photo Phriday edition this week.

Bearcat, I learned years ago to drag them ten or fifteen feet away from the circle, when turning loose. They can waste a lot of valuable time, waiting for a stupid cat to leave the circle! They tend to own that spot where you caught them, and who is gonna argue with them! Had one that I dragged away, turned loose, and then he ran under my yota and growled at me. Never seen him leave, but started off slow, as I didn’t want to run over him after all that!

W151, Thanks, that was Savells cat . He kindly gave me permission to use his cat as a model for Blackie's Catalog cover. Those Texans catch some real nice ones.

Sharon, love your artwork! Especially love the settings and the backgrounds to all your work. Like that cat hugging tight to the rock wall. A lot of trappers could learn a very valuable lesson right there. A cat doesn’t need a lot of room to walk by a trap! As always, Many Thanks for sharing!

Morning, Tater. You noticed that behavior. Bob Noonan directed me to draw that cat just so, as a teaching aid to an article .

Tater and Sharon -

Great photos and artwork! Thanks for contributing to the thread! They make it much better...
