Bobcat mating season

In parts of It's range, the bobcat may breed at any time of the year.
Breeding season in the northern great plains peaks in February and March. Followed by a 60-70 day gestation period.
The female bears 1-5 spotted kittens. most females have a single annual litter.

dakatayote,
Thats an intersting concept that bobcats may breed at any time of the year. I have done alot of research on bobcats and never come across stuff like that. Can you point me in the direction as to were you got this information. All the thesis that I have read have stated that breeding season is between Jan. and April depending on the location. I'm not saying that your not right, I like to study bobcats and that is something interesting. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Slygunner1, I have found that kind of information in Petersons Field Guide To Mammals Of North America for one and I'm sure there are many other books with that kind of info in it. I have also read what Dakatayote stated. Good luck.
 
Danny B,
Thanks that is one I have not read. Are there any other books or literature that go in depth about bobcats that you recommend? I have read everthing that Utah State, BYU, and the University of Utah has published and Idaho, Utah, and Nevadas' division of wildlife has put out, along with many other published works. But I find that alot of it is old material, really nothing new or recent. Finally, someone with some info.I should have inquired about this here long ago! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
Thanks and Happy Hunting,

Hi Slygunner1, I took that info right out of a book we have at work called "mammals of South Dakota" so what I wrote was just quoted from that book.

I don't claim to be a wildlife biologist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.hehe
