Just wondering if anybody has seen/harvested a bobcat in the columbia basin. I'd sure love to come across one myself!

Hard to find but they are here

CAMPMEAT · « **Reply #5 on:** January 24, 2011, 09:00:20 AM »

I'm guessing the coulees, swamps, river, beaver ponds if they're are any down thataway. No reason for them not to be there.

NOPE....no bobies here. Don't waste your time looking for them.

I heard of one guy trapping one out of season and letting it go, but that was like 15 years ago. Has anyone got one? By calling it? At night?

:)I got one with my shotgun while pheasant hunting. Seen many. Potholes area, alojng where crab creek comes into Moses Lake.

Found a den with five kittens about 15 years ago. I'm sure that there are still bobbies in there, but I haven't bothered to look. Buddy of mine called one in last year while coyote hunting, didn't realize it until he stood up to leave and spooked it off.

halfpipe88 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 26, 2011, 09:38:09 AM »

I've done a lot of coyote hunting and never seen one, but it seems like they come in slower and stealthy. If you're calling for bobcats do you have to stay at a stand longer? how long usually?

C-Money · « **Reply #26 on:** January 26, 2011, 09:48:28 AM »

ZERO bobcats in the basin!

Maverick · « **Reply #27 on:** January 29, 2011, 11:39:47 AM »

my buddy missed one just outside of burbank and another guy saw one in the boise trees. There are a few around. They're smart. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they aren't there. That bobcat mount, where was that shot?

haha. I wasn't asking for your honey hole. Just what area.

KimberRich · « **Reply #30 on:** February 18, 2011, 10:28:11 AM »

I've seen some tracks but never an actual bobcat.. I'm sure they're there. Just sneaky!

Jerry malbeck · « **Reply #31 on:** February 21, 2011, 03:21:45 PM »

I have called in two since 1998 on the east side , That was the ones i saw at least

The two were at least 100 miles apart .
seen sign all over the basin over the years , not a lot of them , but they are not a thin as you might think .
Call at night along the river and lower eastside canals ( pot holes) shores of lakes
water and rocky coolies youll see a lot more .
Had one killing baby goats here a couple of years ago , BIG male . still looking for his girl friend , doubt ill ever see her eye to eye .

Is Blewett Pass in the Columbia basin?

Saw a Bobcat on the side of the road on top Blewett a couple weeks back. First one I've ever seen in the woods.

Bofire · « **Reply #33 on:** March 02, 2011, 05:11:37 PM »

:)All the Bobs moved to Republic, Malbeck killed all the coyotes. You need to hunt Tricities or Oregon.

I've heard of them around the burbank area. About 3 years ago there was a cougar outside Finley. no one has seen it in awhile. The one thing we never thought we would see around here was a wolverine. It was killed by a truck in front of the kerley chemical plant about 10 years ago.

Special T · « **Reply #35 on:** March 02, 2011, 05:46:18 PM »

I think someone brought one into to the Warden coyote derby 4 years ago..

TheChad23 · « **Reply #36 on:** March 03, 2011, 11:25:13 AM »

Seen one close to town in Othello and my brother saw one by a road in Kahlotus close to town. His was in 2011 and i saw mine in 2010. None of them were in spots to be able to shoot at them.

Maverick · « **Reply #37 on:** March 03, 2011, 11:47:21 AM »

yeah I heard of the cougar and wolverine in finley. Heard people were seeing a cougar by chemical drive last august. By the overpass near the fair grounds. Burbank had a cougar running around the park and out at tidewater. They're around. I've also heard many people talk about them out at the juniper forest ponds. Heard people killed 2 toms, and a female out there. So crazy. I'd love to see more bobcats around. If only they could spread like the fox are!
