FOXHUNTER 5,020 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 I saw a few Scottish Wildcats years ago when stalking near Forfar . At that time I think there was a good population in that area. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,261 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Lot of talk about a possible reintroduction of Wildcats into Devon but the biggest threat to Scottish wildcats is hybridising with moggies and that would just be worse in Devon. It would need a control area for domestics if it were to have any value as a reintroduction beyond turning the local farm cat population a little more wild. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
