Side note, in the subject of bobcats, cool old pic that was posted in one of our trapping history pages on FB

We'll haven't personally delt with any real big cat kills , mainly just finding trash piles of small game from bobcats, that being said though just looking at your pictures most of these don't really come off as cat kills the first one possibly something other then average but everything thing elese just looks like something a feral dog would to imo. That b info said since I'm not massive experts on the matter I did post this on my trapping form to see what the guys in cat country thought and here's one of their responses so far It's 10p.m here so should be more answers in the morning.

Small population, even here with our large population it's pretty rare to see a road killed bobcat. Even in places like Montana where they are literally over run with mountain lions you just pain to hear about many getting hit by cars. Mainly because their not stupid. A cat generally won't move if thinks you can see it, unless their super bold. So trying to cross a busy road Infront of a car just doesn't make a lot of sense. Combine that with a population of many what... 100 tops possibly? No to mention they would probably just cross at least frequented areas , under road culverts ect

One more thing : range. Most big cats( smaller ones too) have very big ranges , usually, things can cause this to very, but generally that range wide. This can cause a HUGE problem for people trying to track the things . I've talked with guys who trap both bobcats and mountain lions along with reading a lot form a biologist for trapped large predators all over the world for scientific purposes. They all agree cats roam a lot. You see tracks it could be two weeks before a tom bob cat comes back though to that area . Guys in texas told me by the time you see a lion track on on ranch that

So forgive me because I haven't gone though this whole thread but I headed to dabble heavily in cryptozoology and the whole UK big cat thing was something I gave some attention to. But here are my main questions Have there been any live stock kills or attacks where ethe animal has been bitten from the neck area ? Have kills been found where there was a deer sheep ect in a tree or burried ? In like a leaf litter pile ? Not even going to ask about a carcasses of this big cat because your never really find those regardless. Like seriously I've talked to guys who hunt mountai

Honestly feel that that's a lot of people on here...

Dont think bobcats and lynx count as legit "Big cats " honestly. That being said a small population could easily live in the UK failry undetected with y'all's lifestyle. Bobcats I mean. You can honestly be staring right at one in some semi thick stuff and most people will not notice them. Especially most urbanites. I mean hell mountain lions routinely roam and hunt in parks and suburbs in LA. A hand full of Bob's could easy get along in there UK especially with all the small game you guys have running around. That and your not going to find a cat kill unless you know damn well what your looki

Nah got a few friends that will hand catch coyotes when taking them out traps ,I might do that, I'll hand catch grey fox all day, but cats ? Gonna need that catch pole ??
-
Just treeing or or having the dog kill them too ?
-
Depending on dog and the number of them, honestly one on one most dogs with get torn up pretty good by a bobcat on the ground if they manage to corner one. Just about every houndmen that runs cats ( bob's or mountain lion) uses a pack to tree them. That being said though a pack of 3-8 decent walkers or similar will make very quick work out of a bobcat. Mountain lion too. Reckon somthing like the bigger catch dog varieties would have might less trouble though.
-
Bobcats are extremely easy to choke out, veins right under the skin or something like that, all o know if you not care you can kill one on a catch pole in less then 30sec if your not careful can't imagine bare handing one would be too much harder , I mean besides getting shredded bully those claws ?

Will never understand why when there's 30 something other post going every day full of doom and gloom and all the bitching you could want, folk gotta come and bring all that shit to the one post trying to bring a little positivity. Like why ? What's the point ? Just go to one of the others and leave this one alone FFS ??
-
Report to the police??.... Probably just off some road kill a crow or something dropped
-
Some kinda K9. This out the UK ? If so I'd say a young fox. Nails look too thin and narrow for a dog imo. That being said though idk, dont remember seeing dew claws on any of the fox I've messed with ?

For y'all who like detailed break downs and analysis type stuff highly recommend this guy's videos . And before someone says it yes their long as hell but there not really something you just sit down and stare at . More of a podcast,nice to listen to while doing other stuff

New build starting *update*
Wolfdog91 replied to Wolfdog91's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Going to be running a wide variety of ammo with my hand loads from 40-75 GR and in a .223 / 5.56 1:12 or 1:14 simply won't stabilize those heavier weights. If I was shooting lighter pills then yes those twist rates would work in this caliber ( well .223 Wylde is technically a chambering) but for what I'm after then no ,not optimal at all. And once the only thing really moving on an ar is the bolt carrier group which ,yes the recoil impulse is different and takes getting used to to ,it's actually not super hard to get sub MOA out of a well built one. Mainly because every thing else on it -
Man that got... Yeah, no, was trying to get me to stop trapping and hunting when I said that wasn't gonna happen the crazy started coming out. But yeah for a host of reasons me and my best friend ended up back together earlier this year mainly because where both sick and tired of trying to date people we really don't get along with so . According to both our families where the only ones who can deal with each other so ??
