"Bobcat" finally got a Bobcat
« on: December 30, 2011, 01:51:39 PM »
I've had a camera out in this spot with a deer's rib cage for bait, for 4 weeks now. The first few days a coyote stopped by for a couple of pictures and a couple of hawks ate on it quite a bit. Got lots of pictures of the hawks but nothing else since that first coyote. Was expecting/hoping for a bobcat since I've seen bobcat tracks in the area. So I just checked it today and finally a bobcat came by. I wish it would have stayed longer, but at  least I got a few pictures. I haven't got any pictures of deer there previously, but interestingly enough, a deer came sniffing around just about 9 hours after the cat was there.

Now I just have to figure out how to kill it. Hopefully I'm gonna get some help from BTKR with that problem. We've already tried calling in that area twice now for bobcats with no luck.

Here's the coyote that stopped in once, and one of the hawk:

I have another camera in the same area, about 1/4 mile away, with an elk hide for bait. I was hoping for more bobcat pictures, but just got one coyote.

I'm not sure. I see one for $59.95 on Cabelas website, and it is similar but the Cabelas one is 2 megapixels and mine is 5. It's called the "Xtreme 5". I actually only paid about $25 for mine, it was on ebay and was a refurbished model.

If you're interested in one of the 2 megapixel Wildview's you can get them for $39.95 here:

I'm wanting to pattern the bobcat, but not having much luck with that. I re-baited with 6 duck carcasses on Monday, and just checked it this morning and it hasn't been touched. If the bobcat would start showing up regularly, then I would try to call it in. But maybe it will start coming around more often. We still have over two months until bobcat season ends.

I did get some action at the other camera which is about 1/4 mile away. A coyote got the elk hide down from the tree and drug it off. I had it tied with parachute cord.

I think I may have a good chance of getting this coyote:

Well I FINALLY got some more pictures of the bobcat, and I thought instead of starting a new thread I'll just add to this one. It's been 6 weeks since the last time and I was really pleased that I got a lot more photos this time, 112 photos of the bobcat, last time I only got 6. This time it was at the other site which is about 1/4 mile away, and so far in the last 2 months I had only gotten a coyote at this location.

I re-baited it with an elk hide with head attached and the four lower legs which I tied together, and tied to the tree, about two weeks ago. Plus I had some of the organs which I placed on the ground at the base of the tree, and covered with tree limbs so birds couldn't get at it too easily. A coyote did come by once but didn't touch anything, I just got one picture of him. Then the cat came by a couple days later and really tore into everything.

The first picture was this last Wednesday in the afternoon and the last picture at 8:15 this morning. I dropped off a half dozen goose carcasses and I expect the cat will be back tonight for that, plus the elk hide is still tied to the tree and that should keep the cat busy for a while. I now wish I would have tied the goose carcasses all together and then tied it to the tree. I may go back tomorrow afternoon and do that if they are still there.

Great photos, good luck  I had close to the same thing happen last winter with a bobcat coming into my camera, problem was it didn't hold to a set time of day,or night, almost like it purposely broke up its visits, I finally ran out of time, I had pictures of him a few more times during last falls hunts and now my camera died so :bash:
good idea using the elk hide.

PS: try tying up your geese in a tree so the cat has to climb up and reach out to get at the bird.

Yeah I may actually have to try to hunt this cat now that it's showing up on a regular basis. It's been there every day for the last four days. Still have about 6 weeks till the season's over.
