Treeing bobcats!

[coolkid243]

i was thinking about using my dogs to tree bobcats, at first i thought it was a bad idea, but then i started thinking about it. How easy is it to tree a bobcat with a treeing walker. or is it as easy as it sounds.

'Pends on the Bobcat.

a buddy of mine sold an unskinned one to a buyer in either arkansas or kansas for $80. is that about right??

 

[DoubleCK]

I can't get the prices they get down in the blue/green state. Sold a nice 38' heavy female frozen on the carcass for $475 last week.

Lots of dogfood and a little gas money. (-:

friend of mine that sells quite a bit of fur said a good tom cat that has been skinned and on a line is gunna be upword of $1500

 

[jglynn]

wow! seems like we may be getting the short end of the stick.lol

 

[DoubleCK]

Big difference in Bobcats. A $1500 cat would certainly be a very special specimen any way you stretch it.

1500 dollar bobcat must have been HUGE!!!

Most around here go 6-8 hundred

A step by step How to make a bobcat dog? That aint happening. I aint got time to write ya book. A good bobcat dog is one of the hardest dogs to make. Not a dog that can catch a bobcat but a dog that can consitantly catch bobcat. They are very very valuble and most will not sell you one. They are too hard to come by. It is easier to make a good bobcat dog with bobcat dogs. Monkey see monkey do type of thing. There is alot more to making a dog than one can type on here even though most of you think you can get a dog from the pound and make a top dog out of it without any knowledge or effort put into it. Is that what you wanted to hear?
