The bobcat is basically all over the country. Even so, It’s interesting to see people ask if that’s a good enough reason to go open season on them. northernpublicradio.org/2022…

#MammalMonday: Bobcats are distinct-looking wild cats, with their spotted fur and short (“bobbed”) tail. They’re about twice the size of a house cat, solitary, & most active at dusk and dawn. In Illinois, they're found in wooded areas, particularly in southern parts of the state.
HB1827 was recently introduced and would amend the Wildlife Code to repeal provisions allowing the taking of bobcats by hunting or trapping in this State.
Please contact your State Representative to express your support. Contact info: ilga.gov/house/

Thankful to this unknown man for striking a pose and for not messing with my camera set up after he stumbled upon it. Also added, a bobcat using the log just a couple weeks prior. #cameratrap #trailcam #photobomb
A female and male bobcat caught on a camera trap during peak breeding season in Morgan County, Illinois by Rich Hartman.
Clearly they are ignoring the “NO TRESPASSING” sign. 😹
A resident in Jo Davies County, IL has had the cutest little visitor this past week, so they set up a trailcam to record its visits.
The federal government is giving Western Illinois University $375,000 to keep researching the state’s bobcat population. 😺fox2now.com/2019/06/13/weste…

Trying to settle an argument on FB about the gender of this bobcat. Male or female? #bobcat #citizenscience #lynxrufus #mammal #wildcat #Carnivore #urbanwildlife

Snow Tracking: We’ve never seen some of these tracks before and we can’t help to wonder who is missing a pogo stick?! 😹

If you attended our Wild Things presentation, you know I mentioned this #cougarornot quiz. We enjoy it for the high probability of a #bobcat. 😸
