My First Bobcat!
« on: December 31, 2022, 02:13:32 PM »
I Caught a 26.2 lb Tom today. Couldn't believe it! I used some meat from my beaver I caught and a little bit of bobcat scent gland. Trap was out for a week or two. ( I checked it everyday) I was going to try a new spot when I went to check it today. Glad I hadn't moved it already!

THats awesome.  When you leave it out that long, do you refresh the bait or just leave as is?   Beautiful cat

Bone, I left it just as is. But it did freeze for a few days solid. So it was rather fresh still when the cat got there. He took advantage and ate all of it, last of my bait! Haha

 :tup:  That makes sense.    I watched a small Bobbie revisit a deer carcass for almost 2 months many years ago.  THat was in the methow where it seldom thawed.    It eventually got buried in snow and he literally dig a tunnel to it.
