Night hunting for Bobcat to be ended in Lynx recovery areas
KFhunter:
I haven't done any night calling, but is this really a concern? Can't lynx and bobcat be discerned when night hunting or are they so similar looking at night as to warrant this arbitrary new rule? Lynx recovery area is pretty vast, I found a few maps but for this rule to really be effective it will need to be easy to know if you're in a lynx area or not, so they'll just list GMU's that may or may not have lynx.
I know 101-113, 204-242 are screwed, probably a bunch of others too.
More lost opportunity. I've never heard of a lynx shot at night with the use of artifical light..seems this is a solution begging for a problem that doesn't exist.
I urge you all to comment on this .
Here is the proposal

(a) BAG AND POSSESSION LIMITS: No limit.
(b) SEASON DATEs: Sept. 1 - Mar. 15 during the current license year.
(c) �sTITTCTI�: It is unlawful to hunt bobcat with dogs. Night hunting
for bobcat is prohibited in GMUs that fall within the lynx management
zones identified by the department.

You would think that with the amount of folks on here running trap lines. Somebody would have posted up a photo of a stray that found it's way into a live trap. I would bet that would make some kind of ripple effect in the news papers as well.
