???? Texas

Thats hard to say ,,, As far as i can tell they are everywere Limestone , Falls ,Mclennan , or i have shot a few in all of these .
 
Man, that's a hard one to answer. You would typically think that they are in the counties that have high sheep and goat populations, but they are controlled pretty heavily in those areas so they wouldn't thrive as much as they could if left alone. It is even hit or miss around Midland. I can drive 50 miles in one direction and maybe see one cat per year, while I can drive 50 miles the other direction and see a ton. I would think that any county that has good cover and water and that isn't hit too hard by the ADC men would have higher populations of cats. I also think that large cattle ranches that border large sheep ranches are bound to have a high number of cats. The cattle ranchers typically aren't worried about cats, while the sheep and goat men are and take action to prevent the cats from killing. Still hard to say, though. I know there are good numbers of cats in most of the counties I hunt in Texas, but there are even some counties where I can find a good population in one area, and none in the other....all within the same county. It's probably all dependent on habitat and whether they are being controlled or not.

Take care and God Bless,

I would say south Texas, but I don't think there is a right answer here. One of the places I hunt is in Frio Co. and there are quite a few cats on it. More than I have noticed when hunting in Sutton, Mason, Menard, Taylor, Val Verde, or Runnels counties...........

But like I said, there is no right answer here I don't think.
 
Texas is a big place and I doubt any of us is an "expert" on the whole shebang. I will say that Coke and Tom Green Counties have a high number of cats. They have very few coyotes so the fox and cats are doing well.

Another idea is to just follow Randy Watson around. He creates them out of thin air!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

we have alot of cats but they are tuff calling.especially since I can't hardly let a yote walk! If I would let a few yotes walk I would see more cats.
 
I agree with it being a tough question. We took more bobcats last year calling than ever before in Crockett County. A friend took twice that many in Sterling County. If you really want to find out contact fur buyers in the West Texas area.
 
We killed 61 last year and 50 the year before. They were scattered between several counties within 70 miles of here, so I guess there are quite a few in this area.
 
I'm doing good Jason, good to hear from you. Hope all is well. I've been riggin' up a new truck, so I've been busy. Went out to check out my chair mount last night. Called for 10 minutes, called in a foursome, killed 2. The new truck is now officially broke in.
 
OK, I re-worked my chair a bit, and had to build new grill guard, rear bumper and headache rack and rails. I'll have the chair on this weekend,I'll try to get some pics. Randy
 
I have the best luck in South Texas I have called in 20 in 2 nights on a place in Webb Co. Laredo let all of them walk. I have another ranch there that I have never had a night we didn't call in at least 2 But Del rio area has produced a lot of nights where we had 6-10 in a night & that is where I got my 45 pounder killed a lot of big cats there. West texas is good in some areas. But I love South Texas.
 
shot a male with no spots a couple years ago just outside the city limits of tomball,tx. just spitting distance from a neighborhood. so i would have to guess bobcats are anywhere there is enough food,water and cover.
