I believe the average weight of an adult male bobcat in PA is 24 pounds.

PGC web site-
A mature bobcat averages 36 inches in length, in- cluding a stubby, 6-inch tail. This bobbed tail gives the bobcat its name. Pennsylvania bobcats weigh 15 to 20 pounds, with large individuals as heavy as 35 pounds.

By comparison eastern Idaho mature male bobcats average about 31" in length excluding the tail and weigh about 27 pounds.

A friend of mine killed a tom a few years ago with his dogs that weighed 46 pounds from Tunkhannock, Pa.
The cat was just a total freak of nature. Huge head, long fat body, and a big gut.

My largest cat was 30lb.


Nowadays it just don't pay to be a good 'ol boy.

Yep, I put that up because they look much heavier than they are.

I've done it.They are almost exactly alike from the elbows and knees up.The lower legs are only slightly longer,about 1/2".From the ankles down,the feet are noticeably longer,more so on the back feet and the toes are considerably longer.

There are some slight differences in the face,notably,the muzzle isn't quite as tall on the lynx and it's canines aren't as long.

Back when there weren't many good lynx manikins,I mounted quite a few lynx on bobcat manikins after changing those features mentioned.It pays to study the differences in that kind of situation.

Called this one in (WMU 2G) this season- was far and away the smallest one Ive ever seen- didn't weigh or measure it, but then again I don't weigh or measure anything anyway really.

beagleador,i'll be hitting the night circuit starting tonight.have a list of grey fox and bobble spots i've been keeping track of all season.son's first season night hunting with me but he has proven himself in the daylight and is 18 and giddy to go.the next couple weeks have become one of my fav. times of the year.

thanx Taxi,i think of funny things sometimes but thought they would be very similar.
