Wow! Those things are all muscle!!??…. That’s not much smaller that a young adult wolf…lol
When I weighed my big wolf, the scale said 46 and I’m thinking it’s not zeroed…..had it set to kilos…lol.
I have to meet Rick one of these years, maybe one of the conventions.

Great bobcat,our northern bobcats get BIG,330 Scott's cat was 41 pounds and change,my Christmas cat #100 was another big cat 44 pounds.Over the years I've had 14 bobcats go 40 pounds.They had him mounted I've never seen a cat with such a long torso,all of our northern cats the taxidermist have to cut and add to the forms,because no one makes forms big enough for our northern bobcats.

Those are monsters!


With the US so divided, I'm just glad to be on the side that believes in God, has the most guns, and knows which restroom to use.

Quote straight from NTA website:
Description
Male bobcats are slightly larger and heavier than females. Most adult males weigh 20 to 22 pounds, while females average 18 to 19 pounds. Individuals may be much larger at times, especially in the northern states where many mature males may weigh 30 pounds. The heaviest recorded bobcat was taken in Maine and weighed 76 pounds.
