Bobcats have been killing turkeys since before Man was a significant threat to wildlife on a large scale, in other words, for millions of years.
To kill a bobcat as a form of "wildlife management" is not only illegal in some states,being that they are a regulated game animal in most states.
It lends itself to a lack of responsibility as well. Also, it adds credence to the arguments of anti-hunters that we just want to hunt so we can kill something\anything.
yes exactly this was going on before man was a threat to wildlife on a large scale. BUT NOW we hunt deer and turkey as well!!! so since we hunt them along with bobcats that throws everything off so we hunt the bobcats to to put the population back in balance. so i say kill them if its
legal! theres nothing wrong with getting rid of a few bobcats to better your deer or turkey population. people do it with coyotes to because the population of them in some areas is soaring and can affect the deer and turkey population as well as other small game animals. most people kill both of these as a form of "wildlife management". dont know where you get the ludacris part from cause i see nothing wrong with either of those if done legally.JMO
