I'm still in shock........7 mature tom bobcats in one night out of 30 traps. The sheep in this area will have a little less pressure when the lambs drop.

I finally gave bobcat a try.

I now got a goal to call in more lions this spring/summer/and fall. Also my biggest bobcats and best bellies cat I’ve ever caught. To bad prices aren’t what they were a few years ago.
