Ohio Bobcats

[giles]

Anyone else getting more pics of bobcats than any other predator? Maybe if we combine data in this one thread, we can use it to submit to the state. Get us some seasons going.

I'll start

So share away here. Let's collect the data in one place. Don't worry about people tracking your pic to your property, @Jackalope has it set so no one can do that. We can all say we are seeing them, but let's prove it.

The amount of tracks we seen at salt fork was crazy

I believe the population has exploded the last few years. But without documentation of proof, we have nothing to stand on. The timing of this snow and this thread are all in good timing. Let's do this

Sorry I had to do it…carry on

Yeah baby!

I quit saving pics of them cuz they it wasn’t a rarity/novelty to see them anymore. I’ll start posting them here as I get them moving forward

I probably get one cat to 25-30 yotes. We no longer have fox …it’s been 2 years since I’ve seen one on camera . We used to have grey and red fox. Turkey population has been almost cut in half over the last 10 years. And I’ve never gotten a skunk on camera which is odd.

I've been getting gray and red fox pics both in Warren and highland county very regularly. I'm sure they are the same critters over and over. Hard to get a good quality pic because they seem to always be moving. I've been getting skunk pics also. First year that I've ever had that happen. I've been running cams since the early days of flim cameras

The DNR knows all about them. Before season I got picked to participate in a survey that you would document everything you see when hunting like coyotes,bobcats and some other critters. The bad thing is only 700 people are picked. If they let everyone do it then they would really know what's out there.

Sorry this was a deer Hunting survey that ran up to gun season.

 

[giles]

If this works, this is everyone's opportunity to act in a survey like that. This is an open forum for all to comment and use. Not a closed survey.

I spoke to a guy that had been hunting salt Fork since the 80s and he said you can’t put out a trail camera without getting a bunch of pictures of bobcats .
