I like Cat season

[sniper61]

I like cat trapping , here in pa. The season starts mid December and we can keep one a year. Been saving them for over a decade, at first I wasnt sure what to make with them then I had a granddaughter. She is near 11 year old now . I am have a coat made for her high-school graduation present. Let's see some cat photos.

Bobcats are our main target. Didn't catch one last year.

Others from years back.

So Big Brother just started letting you guys hunt on Sundays, and you can only keep One cat a year. Talk about keeping his thumb on you.

In PA the one cat per year has nothing to do with government, but management. A multi harvest quota per hunter would not be sustainable.

All cats were over 40"s

Lynx cross.

Assuming it was trapped?

sniper they are all Wyoming cats. I think we have only taken one under 40 ", maybe 2.
They all weighed 30+ lbs, toms much bigger but a couple of nice females.
We tend to keep all our trapped cats, even females unless they are very small.

Hoping to catch more than a couple this year, buyer is looking for good cats.

This tom was nice and not our largest by far, had him tanned because we used a diff. buyer and he offered lowball price.
Last few years the market took off on bobcats, Westerns that is.
