bobcat question

[texag2010]

anybody have any recommendations on how to "bait" bobcats within bow range? I had a few last year walk by but never got a shot at em..i have heard cat food, meats, etc. but just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas?

[Ouch]

Cat food works fairly well, if you have an area where they are travelling regularly. I've actually seen that first hand.

Also, I have heard of folks baiting for them much like they bait for large cats on the Dark Continent, with a bait hung from or tied in a tree. They're scavengers, so they'll eat just about anything that's readily available.

With that logic, I guess I'm a scavenger, too...

That would explain how that one ended up under my stand last year. Probably thought I was his next meal.

Make a rub post like we do when we trap them and bait with some good bobcat gland lure.

Quaker boy hand squeakers work really well calling them in. That's what I used to call mine in I killed back in 06. Also works on foxes/coyotes.

"squeak" your lips, they'll probably check-up anyway, good chance they will ease over and take a look.

We used a dying rabbit call and got a couple of coyotes, a fox and then a huge bobcat.

Missed em all of course...

We use a dying rabbit call with a couple dead rabbits. Works for yots and bobs. We let the fox walk. Although if they keep getting thicker I'll have to start thinning them to protect the turkey nests.

[Target-panic]

Coons will eat all that stuff too.

[Fightinaggies]

you can bait them with a carcass. Shot one 2 years ago over a dead deer carcass at 15 yards.

They like birds. When I trapped them, I used a dead bird and singed the feathers.
