Title: Latest Bobcat Photos
Post by: bobcat on February 24, 2012, 08:15:10 PM: Checked the cameras again today, like I do every week, got more bobcat pictures and videos. This time I had the Moultrie D40 instead of the Tasco. Only reason I switched them out was that the Tasco does not have an external battery jack. I've got the Moultrie hooked up to a deep cycle marine battery. It's for my electric trolling motor and has been sitting out in my shop for a few years now and never gets used. So I decided to use it to run one of my cameras. It's working great. The battery meter is still showing 99% and I'm guessing it will still be at that level three months from now.

Mostly elk parts (leg bones, hides, head, meat scraps).

Had about a half dozen goose carcasses there once but they didn't last long.

I added another elk leg bone today and a 5 gallon bucket full of bear fat. Not sure how well that's going to work, but I'm all out of bait now.

Well did you see there only 3 minutes before the bobcat showed up? It's been there a few other times as well. Yeah it would have been cool to have the bobcat grab it right in front of the camera!

If you lived close to me I could get you all the cow and pig scraps you could ever want. The butcher I know just dumps it all at the landfill, and I know it wouldn't hurt his feelings to give it away.

I've tried calling out there a couple times with no luck. We're going to try hunting at night at least once before the season is over. I'm not too concerned about it, I plan on getting set up better for night hunting and will put more time into it next year. I don't imagine that cat is going anywhere. (this is on private property)

Post by: bobcat on February 25, 2012, 02:58:54 PM: I think I may have posted these videos previously in another thread, but this is right after I put the infrared camera out there and set it to take video. The cat was really nervous about the big "red blob" on that camera, at first.
