Well,it got stopped at the wildlife council meeting.And the anti spokesman very loudly and proudly proclaimed this just the start.No leghold no snares no bobcat trapping.
No Bobcat trapping
- Thread starter tracker 6
- Start date
I figured it wouldn't pass. The antis are on a mission to put an end to all trapping. If that happens there will be a cluster fuck of things happen to all wildlife, and it won't be good.
This came straight from the OSTA Facebook page. Apparently it was postponed, which could be considered a win for the antis.
Serious crock of shit. The way this country is going it would not surprise me if within 5-10 years trapping is banned.
Scary thought for sure. Even scarier to think that this could be a trend, eventually impacting hunting as well. We really need to win this one.
I read a post the other day from a West Virginia trapper who traps Gallia and Lawrence counties. He caught 5 bobcats while setting for yotes and fox, and there's only 12 incidentally trapped cats on record
Well I hate to say it but it's people that don't report these sightings that make it look like there isn't that many around.
I also just heard that these bastards will climb up and kill turkeys right out of the roost and it don't take long for them to wipe out a flock.
I've never seen one in the wild . I'd be pretty tickled to see one or get a trail cam pic of one.

I have seen 3 in Washington County and 1 in Monroe in person. I get trail camera pics all the time.

I’m guilty of not reporting sightings and pics. But I would have to contact them every week. They know how many are out there. They can’t be that stupid. Just too much pressure from the antis.
Ever see a girl you wanted to get with, then did and it wasn’t worth the effort? Then she told your wife! This is what cats do...ruin everything! Careful what you ask for.
