Billy treed

Billy with the cats he treed

Last week of bobcat season and had a track that looked pretty tough. Figured I'd try it anyway. Sage was in heat so it was just me and Billy. He took the track into some thick stuff and there were bobcat tracks everywhere. One track turned into four different cats all going the same direction. There were deer and elk tracks everywhere that were fresh, some running from their beds right in front of the dog. Long story short he got treed after a while and when I got there he had two cats in the same tree. Pretty good day of bobcat hunting.

Tim, bobcats are what pays for dog food and gas so when they go up they come down.

They're worth a little money. Anywhere from $150 - $600.

I'm glad I don't live in Kentucky. The quality of cats here is a lot better than the southern cats and the coastal cats. They bring good money here.

David, thanks for the offer. If I ever get that way I'll let you know. I would say 25 pounds is about average for a tom over here but some get pretty big. Take care - Kevin
