Fur fish game bobcats

Nevertheless I am going on record as saying, if a man is so fortunate as to trap or shoot a wild cat that his friends estimate the weight of being 60 or 75 pounds, and if he himself should believe this, let that man heed my advice and steer clear of the scales, for as sure as fate, if he listens to a set of reliable scales he has a most shocking surprise in store for him.

The point I mean to impress here is, if a cat actually weighs 75 pounds, the estimated weight will most likely be anywhere from 90 to pounds. Let us see if it is not possible to straighten out this tangle of mixed opinion regarding the proper sizes of traps to use in taking evasive Tom.

Even here in Maine there is a difference of opinion. This is usually occasioned here by some trapper who is not trapping for cats and has no idea of catching any, picking up a small or mild-tempered one in a mink trap.

From this lone experience many a trapper has got the idea that a good smart mink trap is all that is required, but when such men turn their efforts toward trapping wild cats and are successful in causing a few to step on the desired spot, that small trap idea is knocked higher than the proverbial kite. I personally know several trappers who are quite successful in outwitting and trapping this animal, and not one advocates the use of small traps.

All cats are not alike. A kit can not be expected to put up much of a scrap, and occasionally a full grown specimen is lacking in courage and strength. The last one my partner and I caught was a full grown female and its efforts to make good its escape were meager. A large, lively mink would have created as much havoc around the set. If neither of us had ever caught cats before this probably would have led us to believe as some others, that the cry of larger traps is all hooey, but it so happens that we both have lost as well as caught cats before.

Trappers in many parts of the country tell us that the careful examination of the stomach and droppings of the wild cat has failed to reveal any evidence of deer or deer hair. Now I can take a person over my trap line, on bare ground, and show him plenty of cat droppings, and more than half of these will be filled with deer hair.

Wild cats are not eating deer meat and hair back in the dense woods during the summer months unless they are killing them. In localities where its chief diet is rabbits, squirrels, birds and other small game, a cat is not likely to be made up of the same ferocious nature as one that does not hesitate to fight it out with a deer.

Although Maine cats may be no larger than those of other states, that means nothing. That is why some of our Maine cats make good their escape even when caught in a large-sized trap.

It was not so long ago that a large cat stepped into one of my No. I will admit it was a dead hitch, but if a No. During the past season a large mountain cat placed a paw on the desired spot of a No. I do not believe or claim that he broke the wire all at once, but by unceasing efforts, lunging and pulling, he wore it through strand by strand.

I understand a trapper in the next town from here had nearly the same experience this last season. Several years ago a heavy cat stepped into a No. Immediately he started out for parts unknown.

About the fifth leap he made the drag caught and held fast, but Tom kept on traveling.
