Bobcats, where I trap, are not plentiful. I get a few every year in coyote snares. Too, when I'm wolf trapping in the summers to put on radio-collars, I get a few bobcats. For me, they are an added bonus on a mixed-species line. This was a big, adult tom, waiting for me in a snare. Unlike most bobcats, I remember the meat from this guy was "musky" and not all that good to eat. Usually, in my opinion, they're delicious. This one was unhurt in the MB750 wolf trap, and released. Sure had beautiful spotting. Typical, north Idaho washed-out reddish bobcat. I thought this a nice portrait of an Idaho bobcat.

Lazarus I would have a bit of a problem in your country at first, here in Pa I complain about the rocks but we have trees too. Your photos show a baren landscape to me. And here is another to be released bobcat from Pa, caught in season but already used up my one and only tag.....jk

Bearcat, I learned years ago to drag them ten or fifteen feet away from the circle, when turning loose. They can waste a lot of valuable time, waiting for a stupid cat to leave the circle! They tend to own that spot where you caught them, and who is gonna argue with them! Had one that I dragged away, turned loose, and then he ran under my yota and growled at me. Never seen him leave, but started off slow, as I didn’t want to run over him after all that!

Morning, Tater. You noticed that behavior. Bob Noonan directed me to draw that cat just so, as a teaching aid to an article .
I think I memember the article Mac

W151, Thanks, that was Savells cat . He kindly gave me permission to use his cat as a model for Blackie's Catalog cover. Those Texans catch some real nice ones. i always tried to spend time talking to Caroll Black Blackie, at the conventions He was a good trapper and a better person
