My father is an avid trapper and he caught a Bobcat accidentaly a few years back in a set he made for fox,very close to the Rockaway mall. He caught it in a snare and was using a drag.once the bob felt the snare it lept ,the drag got caught and the Bob hung itself. He called the division of fish and game. They came and saw it was an accidental catch. they said he did nothing wrong but wasnt allowed to keep it.The bobcat was mounted and is on display at the Peaquest trout hatchery.
