Author Topic: Bobcat - 1,150+ pics in 5 days. (Read 6094 times)

In late Sept I placed a camera next to a gut pile from an archery-killed deer. While tracking the deer we found some recent bobcat crap as well as some coyote tracks and I was hoping to get pics of one or the other, or even both.

It only took a couple days and I had pics of both. But neither one stuck around.

The camera and gutpile were only about 5 yards off the road so I decided to move the camera a hundred yards away to the spot where I found old and fresh bobcat sign. I took a couple of buckets of scraps from BLKBEARKLR and set up next to a root wad from a blow down.

After a week I had about 6 pics of a coyote. Then the rains came and I got no pictures after another week so I pulled the camera.

Fast forward to mid November. Bob and I set up a camera in-between the two spots mentioned above. I had some deer scraps, hide, a bucket of buffalo scraps from Michelle and a couple crows I shot the week before.

It only took 4 hours for this bobcat to come check out the goodies. It came in 5 of the last 6 days and I got over 1,100 pictures of him/her.

Most of the photos were at night and the time is off by 12 hours and also 1 hour for Daylight Savings.

They didn't come out of the camera that way.

It took some photoshop processing to clean them up a bit.

Here is one of the originals.

OK, yeah that's more what I was expecting since you were saying how they all came out dark. Good thing for Photoshop!

Great pictures! Beautiful cat!
Are you going to try calling? Or do you want help trapping the cat?

Billy, I have a photo of my bear this year thats really bright and hard to make out. Would you mind taking a look at it?

billythekidrock · « **Reply #16 on:** December 12, 2010, 06:22:23 AM »

Often when they are bright or blown out by flash there is not much you can do, but if you post a link to it I will take a look.

Love the pics of the kitty...

billythekidrock · « **Reply #19 on:** December 18, 2010, 05:47:08 AM »

He was gone for 20+ days, but came back a few nights ago. I got over 16 minutes of trailcam video of him.

billythekidrock · « **Reply #20 on:** December 19, 2010, 12:01:11 PM »

He came back Friday night and I got another couple minutes of trail cam footage.

Kain · « **Reply #21 on:** December 20, 2010, 09:06:02 AM »

That awesome. Are you trying to trap him or hunt him or just get pics?

I found some bobcat crap in the road yesterday. Now that I know how to identify it I think I might start having more luck.
