Got a cellular trail cam picture of the best buck I've seen on our property this season so far - at 1:35 this afternoon. Ruth is kicking in and bucks getting more active maybe. Had a bobcat on same camera at 6:30 this morning and a whole bunch of raccoons at various times last night and so far tonight.
Do you also hunt upland birds at your property?
We had bobcats move into our place a few years back. Surprisingly, it made our bird hunting much better! However, my closest neighbor had about 20-40 feral cats at his place. I think they were eating our quail and pheasant chicks. I believe the bobcats made short work of the feral cats.
So now I have no clue about the impact of bobcats during "normal" conditions?
If they eat pocket gophers, raccoons, and armadillos, then they would still be a net positive on our property.
