Here is a post from 2022. If you ask how we know the bobcat killed the buck, the answer is we conducted a necropsy on the buck shortly after getting these videos. Apparently, based on wounds, the...

Have noticed more and more. Interestingly less yotes and more fox (both gray and red).

That’s awesome! I’ve seen the opposite over the years. Haven’t seen a fox on camera in years. Had one gray 8 years ago.
Coyotes were never that prevalent in my part of the state. Though I did have a group howling behind my house lady might. It inhad a thermal I probably could of popped one or two from my porch.
Have been seeing more fox lately not a lot but at least I'm seeing them

I think there were 3 grays on my last yr - one had a half a tail but it was teased out and fluffy, another carried it folded up and over like a Pomeranian. Everything is a little different near Athens i guess. lol
Last years was relentless with coyotes and two bobcats (General Tsao and Robert). This year we had two three pics of one with kits and either theyre big enough to appear like adults now, or we just had an influx but theyre all over. Wish they'd eat or run off some of the coons..... way too many and a few are huge.

How many bobcats are in Indiana? This year's trapping season could help settle the debate
Trappers say bobcats are plentiful enough in Indiana to hunt, but wildlife advocates disagree. Data from the season could settle the debate.

I know there are a crap load of them in Penna. so you guys must be covered in them as well.How many bobcats are in Indiana? This year's trapping season could help settle the debate

Bobcat population estimate. The percentage difference of the low side too the high side…..
The only estimates I read in the article pertain to southern vs eastern Ohio population densities, with reference to the statistical error (+\- number). Nothing there seems odd to me. And I’m scratching my head as to how any of this correlates to Ohio “counting bobcats like they count deer.” I’m seriously trying to make a connection so that I can figure out if I’m actually missing something, or if it’s just a pointless dig at the Division of Wildlife.
When I read that part, it struck me as this resembles just a wild ass guess since it’s such a big swing percentage wise. The counting comparison to deer was sarcasm….
It's not a horrible estimate, the error thing has to do more the randomness of kitten production.
