40# bobcat last night

 $300 is an everyday event. That's more than likely a once in a lifetime cat. I vote you keep it.

I've currently got more traps than I can even manage. 

Keeping him

I was going to ask if you were keeping it or not.  Glad to hear.  That’s a beautiful cat.

That's crazy big for a bobcat! Nice!
Personally, I would keep it. Worst case, it's still worth a decent amount whether it goes to auction or you find a buyer yourself. I think a jumbo cat would look awesome on the wall with a basic rug mount.
