I live in a residential neighborhood in Florida, so I occasionally see bobcats on my Ring cameras. I think they are cute, and I love to see them when they do appear, but I know they are nuisance animals in other places and need to be dispatched.
And I appreciate your point of view because I agree with it. I definitely do not want to kill them all I love seeing them in the wild and not just catching and dispatching. Some populations need to be controlled to overpopulation which causes disease, distemper, etc.. and I also like just to take pictures and release as well. It’s a part of being in the outdoors.
Good stuff! I made a catch pole that will fit through the bars of my traps so I don't have to worry about them getting me at all. I have seen that some folks will cut and weld a window in the middle of their doors to accommodate their catch poles.
Some people like bobcats because they are cute and what not, but they murdered so many of my chickens at my front door. Those bastards eat hollow points and run off
Add 2 wheels on the trap, 2 pipes on the top pointing forward so you can grab the pipes and wheel it to your truck. Then push it up ATV ramps into the bed. Considering how wild they get when you put the harness around their neck seems like it would be easier and safer to move the trap. Plus its a fact when you play with fire you will eventually get burnt!
@@PappyNet01 Game and Fish requires us to dispatch(harvest) the animal or release it. We cannot take it to a new area. If I want to harvest it for the fur and meat, then I take it but if I want to release it say it’s young or female, then I can easily release it unharmed.
@@trappingspots I still don't understand why the state (Arizona? or maybe other states) does not permit transfer to less populated area? I get mad when the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission kills (euthanizes) a huge alligator that is found in northern Florida instead of relocating it to the everglades to combat the invasive pythons.
Because I’m in Arizona I don’t use bait. I used to use jackrabbit but it goes bad to quickly. I mainly use gland and call lure. Urine, scat and visual attractors
WHY do you say not to try this at home?? Who just HAPPENS to have a convenient, spare bobcat just laying around to practice this on? Just get your .22, stick it through the bars and kill it.
Why can't people just leave animals alone? He doesn't need "dispatched" , I own cattle and chickens and deal with nuisance animals all the time, but I consider it part of the business. I don't "dispatch" them for doing what nature tells them to do. I take precautions, but I never harm anything. The wild pigs I understand. But not a beautiful creature like that.
I harvest the animals I want to take and let go the ones that are young and some females…I don’t kill to kill. Most of the animal is used. Animals are a green renewable resource…I won’t even get into the wildlife management part…the ones I take are not nuisance animals..doesn’t matter: pigs, coyotes, skunks, bobcats…. The worst things that we can do to animals is failed to manage them in this day and age. But the fact that you say you don’t harm anything is baloney. Everything we do from drinking coffee, going to work driving our car affects wildlife in someway down the line. And if you truly raise cows and chickens the bobcat is no different. A cow is a beautiful creature along with all the others and you’ll slaughter it and eat it. You’re doing the same thing I am.
@@trappingspotsI didn't know the animal was actually being used , so forgive me. I was under the impression it was for trophy only, which is a different ballgame entirely. Yes I do live on a farm and also lease other properties for rotation purposes. Used to deal with pigs and hogs but they weren't worth the hassle and stink, so we got rid of them. I just have a love of animals, almost to a fault. But I agree with your explanation, which you didn't owe me. Take care
@@chadmiller2224 no problem…I apologize if I came off harsh. I deal with a lot of anti- type of people who really don’t have the animals best interest at heart…the original video was to help other trappers be able to humanely dispatch a bobcat..but all good

Damn, you know your Bobcats - I thought he lunged at you you, but you recovered saying you fat-fingered the camera! Whoa Nellie!

Those are actually really good ideas.

Nicely done ✔ brother, that's the dispatch method I use on Bobcats as well 👍
Yeah, I think it’s the most efficient safest way.
Well you aren’t scoring any points by poking at him.
Good tip! I did my first on Tuesday and it didn’t go so well. Hopefully it will become easier over time.
Yeah, it will go better the more you do it

Here in AZ we are not aloud to transport live animals…we have to dispatch or release.
@@trappingspots I thought dispatching or releasing comes after you transported them to a different area. I don't understand then why catch them?

What do you do with them after you trap them?
Harvest the animal or let it go.
So what happened to the bobcat?
I harvested it…it’s going to be full mounted..
@@trappingspots poor thing, but if you’re actually gonna use it and not simply kill it for no reason, then I guess that’s okay.
What kind of bait?
Because I’m in Arizona I don’t use bait. I used to use jackrabbit but it goes bad to quickly. I mainly use gland and call lure. Urine, scat and visual attractors
So where’s the video of you dispatching feral housecats? You know, the ones who are ACTUALLY invasive nuisance animals?
You’re correct they are invasive and a nuisance…but can’t show dispatching on here…
WHY do you say not to try this at home?? Who just HAPPENS to have a convenient, spare bobcat just laying around to practice this on? Just get your .22, stick it through the bars and kill it.
The “don’t try this at home” comment was a joke. I don’t dispatch cats with a gun. And I don’t want blood in the cage.
Or just drop the cage into some water.
Clickbait
