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

I have called in two since 1998 on the east side , That was the ones i saw at least  :chuckle:
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 .
Love many
Trust few
Wrong None

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.

 :)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.

I think someone brought one into to the Warden coyote derby 4 years ago..
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

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.

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!
