Bobcat, catch & release

[possumpacker]

I think that it was just wanting you to pet him. One of these days you won't have to let everyone of them catch.

seein tracks almost daily, in different areas. cant wait till we're no longer a catch and release state.

What a beautiful animal!
Glad you were able to release him, with both you and him unharmed.

Dang, that Cat is bigger than what I thought Bobcats get.....Is that typical for west central IN???

I don't know about west central IN but that would be about average size for an adult in south west Indiana. I get trail cams photos of a couple bobcats that size or larger every year.

That may actually be the one I read about on FB. It was a few days ago so I couldn't remember for sure which county, but Gordon does sound right for the CO's name. I have never seen a bobcat in our area and am not sure how close they are to us. There must be a lot more in other areas of the state.

Different cat. This release was last fall. The one you are talking about was in a snare.. That would be a lot more difficult to release...
