Bobcat

[Lawdwaz]

First bobcat in two years is on the camera.  Exciting to see.......if you can watch at the very end, he/she is standing on a downed tree flicking its tail like a domestic cat.

Negative Ghost Rider........

A buddy did trap one a couple years ago but it was released.  Actually I think he's caught a couple now?

Makes my day when I get these bobcats, fisher and bear on the trail cams.

That's bitter sweet having them and not being able to trap/hunt them. I would have liked to have seen your buddy release it. I've got a few trails cameras out and hope I can get a picture of one.

I posted these right after I got them two (or was it three?) years ago.  This is the first one he caught, IIRC.  I had trail cam video of this one too. 

He used a 4x4 piece of plywood with a V notch cut out of it and two handles on the board to release hi/her.  After the release, the bobcat jumped up onto a stack of pallets and watched from a few feet away as my buddy reset the trap.  He thinks that the incredibly thick brush behind the pallets may have kept the probably still stuned 'cat hanging around, catching it's breath and thanking it's lucky stars.

That's a nice looking cat. Hope to get one someday.
