Never saw one in person but that's a Bobcat if I've never seen one! Get those birds before he does

[Deerthug]

I thought so, just making sure. Never saw one in person either.

Hoping to go up the following weekend . . . This weekend is shot, mothers day and my 20 year anniversary.

Bobcat

Hopefully the birds hide from him and survive . . .

Cool pics. Definitely looks mature. Can you hunt or trap them, when in season there?

[Dom]

That is a bobcat for sure.Only seen 2 of them in the many years of hunting,will make a nice mount for your office.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

He looks in good shape. i hope they go in season where you are

[Deerthug]

Season opens October 15 in 4Y

What would you use to take one? Is a 30-06 too much gun for it?

[Cabin Fever]

Sure looks like it's been eating well! That's probably not a good thing....

Guess it depend's on at what distance you shoot it.I would send an arrow if poss or use my shot gun.

Yeah, guess you're right. Would be nice to take it with my bow

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Coyote rig. any 22-24 but not like a ballistic tip. you don't want to blow it apart. of shotgun with anything from 2-5's. I think I would rather try to trap it. then you are still going after it when you aren't there...lol

[ants]

Lyger for sure........ Kidding Bobcat all the way. I've seen a couple but never shot one. They're not big at all. A .22 would do it. IMHO

[bubba]

I concur and a nice one too

[Paula]

oh my god, that is soo cool!

[Grouse]

I've taken two Bobcat on my land over the years. Both were about 30 pounds, one male & one female. Both were taken with one shot from a .22 magnum at about 50 yards.

[Pygmy]

I think it's one one of those radio collared, computer chipped, stealth helicopter stocked pumacougars stocked by the DEC and sponsored by the insurance companies to reduce the deer population...

It's either THAT or a bobcat...

I shot one in 1979 with my bow , I grew up on a dairy farm and we had newsense licence so I could take him any time , havent had the mount out in years but still have it
