Bobcat - 1,150+ pics in 5 days.

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!
