Title: Bobcat opener
Post by: starkeybomb on August 30, 2023, 08:36:21 AM

Can we hunt bobcats with a small game license? I'm sure it's more clear to others but the process online isn't clear to me

Do I need a trappers license? Do I need a pelt seal in advance? Sounds like a dumb question but want to make sure. Found a spot that for sure has them and wanted to be sure ahead of time if one shows up on a predator hunt

You can hunt them with a small game license. You Don’t need a trapper’s license unless you’re trapping them.

You get the seal when the game warden checks your pelt.
