Title: Not a bobcat expert...
Post by: DBZona 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.

One thing... this pic is as far east in this state as you can get.  That cat can practically spit into idaho from where he is.

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?
