This is my first time putting up a trail cam.
The story started 2 weeks ago. A friend of mine had lost a few fowl from their coop. They lost one every other night for a week. I suspected one of the following: Coyote, bobcat, raccoon or mink. So I contacted H20hunter to ask if he had a trail cam I could borrow since I don't own one; YET. As luck would have it he had just retieved his the night before.
The first night I had the camera too high(4'), no good pics.
I moved the cam to about 2' above ground level. Nothing except normal farm animals the next 2 nights.
I decided to not check it for a few days thinking the animal was catching my scent. I went and checked it tonight.
As you can see he finally showed himself

We had found feathers were he dragged the birds over the fence. He went over the 7' fence in the back ground. he even left a single paw print in the muck and muddy smears on the fence post.
Now I get to try and pattern him.
Hope you enjoy the pics

Looks like a nice Tom! Find someone with a trapping license and get that guy.

Thought about that except this is less than 100yds from the house and there are dogs, cats, etc running around.

95% of the pics were of those and rabbits.

Once the chickens are gone the rabbits will start to get thinned a bit.

Cool pictures of a nice looking cat. I think I'll get one of those trail cams and stake out a few areas I've been curious about....

You wont pattern a bobcat, there are too many factors that determine where or what hes doing in his day...get a trapping license and have fun

That h20hunter he's a swell guy to let you barrow his camera like that. Nice pictures

Better it is there watching Bob than being fed to a chainsaw!

Remember, cages only so pets shouldn't be a worry.

You don't need to find a trapper. Borrow one of those high powered pellet guns like they advertise on TV. Or a 22 WMR.
