I posted a story with a game cam ID pic a while back. I've had an ongoing chess match with this bobcat for a couple weeks. I have a very secure coop of my chicken but they free range during the day. This guy was snatching chickens in broad daylight and even while we were outside and at times right after I had been down around the coop. I tried calling with no luck. I set this trap with a live chicken as bait out about a week and half ago and was ready to try several other tactics. I repositioned the trap and added some gland lure. That did the trick This morning I finally caught him https://youtu.be/e50epKyjW6o![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/WHxbCPF/40205-B87-F2-D9-4433-9867-4-D4-D74-F9-F4-E3.jpg)

Finally. Your chickens can go to roost without fear.

The chicken you used for bait, does she give you the stink eye now?

The chicken you used for bait, does she give you the stink eye now? Haha, I was switching them out every 24 hours. I bet that one that was in there when he got caught wasn't happy!!

Did you contact a nice, sweet "relocation" program or organization?

...------ It is sad in a way... I have really changed over the last few years in how I think about varmints, specifically bobcats and fox. There was a time that I would shoot any bobcat or fox I saw. I did a lot of fur trapping and calling. I'll still shoot any coyote I see. These days I will let any fox or bobcat I see walk. However, this situation was different. I have baby goats on the ground and he had already taken out 6 chickens and a guinea. I was on duty at the fire station and was at the very start of a 48 hour shift when my wife called to tell me he was in the trap. I wasn't going to ask someone else to haul it off somewhere and try to let it go. He was a mature male and I ultimately had my good friend who i borrowed the trap from go and shoot him. He was destined to die a much crueler death in the wild and now he'll be admired as a beautiful mount.

All good...
Once I settle down at my final resting years property, wherever that is, I'm sure I'll have to do my share of killing.
I want to eventually buy property out away from a large/mid-sized city.
Which state that is has not been determined.
