Not a bobcat expert...
« on: June 25, 2011, 10:44:12 PM »
...but is it normal for one to not have a lot of spots?  Seen plenty in my days in the woods, but none that look like this.

Yep thats what they look like on the west side.  I have seen a few grey ones down here also though.  Here is the one I got in 09.  Reddish with light spots.

Neat.  Looks like he has a nice racing stripe down his back.

I completely agree.  I currently have no big bucks coming into this spot, and if it stays that way then, this fall I will try and call this guy in.  I wish he would have looked at the camera though.

I had a bobcat walk through my horse pasture a few weeks ago. It was a cinnamon color. Pretty cool to see, have'nt seen him since.

alot of time it has to do with the time of year, i would bet that next winter that cat is gonna be a deep dark redish brown with dark spots especially towards his belly

Oh no!  Off the leash without a flea collar!  :chuckle:

That photo... I see spots, or at least he's not completely golden/cinemon. I'd like to see his underbelly. I'll be he's got more color spots there. Kitty's are shedding like crazy right now. Could be just a phase?
