Bobcat still roaming my property, but he hasn't targeted my flocks or other animals since the initial attacks. I still have the cage trap up but have neglected it the last couple weeks. Then, a couple of days ago, a bunny went in and tripped the trap. As it spent the night terrified but safe...

Dogs are a big scare where my goats are concerned as they are further away from the house. We are lucky as we only occasionally see a dog we don't know. There is one neighbor who has a border collie that comes for a visit once in a while, but she has never shown any aggression/interest in my...

I saw your thread as well. Like me, I am sure you have plenty of wild critters around your area to keep the bobcats fed. Too bad chickens are so easy to catch at night. The last hen caught simply panicked and was basically caught as soon as she hit the ground. My flock is about 35 -...

Thanks.. weather permitting, electric wiring around the fences is going up this week. With all the birds being locked up and out of sight, we have so far successfully stopped the kills, but I prefer for them to be able to pasture range in the daytime so hoping to trap them soon. We have the...

Good news is, we caught the 3 hens that evaded us last night so they are now locked up in the coop. Bad news is tonight I saw 2 bobcats meeting up at the fenceline. Really hoping it was a loner. Only this one came into the yard.

Shooting him is our plan. In WA, we are both willing and permitted to kill wildlife that is threatening or harming animals or people on your property. We want to trap him first because the property is only 5 acres and surrounded by others. In a trap we can ensure that the bullet only hits its...

Good idea. Sadly, he took two of the four that we couldn't get in the coop. Such a helpless feeling.

Thank You!

I bought an animal trap sized to hold a bobcat from Wilco (local feed store like TSC) and am going to use a commercial bobcat bait. Fingers crossed. It is very stressful watching for him to come over the fence, and my poor goats had to spend the whole day locked up in the barn. Also, it took...

I was hoping that the easy access to wild critters would keep the Bobcat satiated, but sadly, after five years of poultry, I had my first predator kill (if I don't count the 2 my own dogs killed). He is a beautiful cat, but now that he is freely coming over the fence, it is time for him to go -...
