Pleading ignorance here. I thought Bobcats were smaller? I would have said this was a mountain lion, but everyone is shotting Bobcats. What's the distinguishing features between the two?

RE: Very cool group of visitors past my trail camera
I've been fortunate enough to see them quite a few times in the woods. I have seen females with litters of kittens on two seperate occasions both times in Vermont. One time they hung around the stand for several hours popping in and out of view. We also pushed one out of a deer drive once when I was a kid and it held tight till I was less than 20 yards from it. I've also called them in while coyote hunting when I didn't have tags for the bobcat and let them pass. They will chase a laser pointer like a house cat. ;)
TFox, I think your referring to summer/winter phase bobcats and their coats. They tend to have more spots in the wintertime, their summer coats tend to get more of a gray/solid color pattern and from what I've seen stays that way till late Oct or so. You guys are gonna make me break out that picture of mine that started the 30+ page thread a few years ago. [8D] |

Pleading ignorance here. I thought Bobcats were smaller? I would have said this was a mountain lion, but everyone is shotting Bobcats. What's the distinguishing features between the two? Adult male mountain lionsmay be more than 8 feet long from nose to end of tail and generally weigh between 130 and 150 pounds. Adult females can be 7 feet long and weigh between 65 and 90 pounds. Large bobcats are generally no larger than30 pounds -- though have been known to reach 50 or more -- but the average bobcat is only 15 to 20 pounds. Their tails are only six to seven inches long, as opposed to a mountain lion's, which can be over three feet long. There's a very distinct difference between the two.  |

I am by no means an expert though. |

Greg / MO, I kinda new the size factors. I wasn't sure about the coats, colors, and features etc. The reason I asked is because that middle cat does not look to be 20-30 lbs. I figured the middle cat to be much heaver and and possibly the mother of two-one year old cubs. I guess it'sjust the position of the way that it is sitting that makes it look larger to me.

At my in laws, there is an area full of old tiff mines. They love those holes for dens.They are seen quite often in this part of Missouri.
