Bobcat - 1,150+ pics in 5 days.
« on: November 27, 2010, 10:47:35 PM »
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. :bash: 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?

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.
