Bobcat Sightings in Boone County

Featured Replies

There were 2,198 bob cats legally harvested in the state of Kentucky last year.

2 in Boone, 1 in Kenton and zero in Campbell county. There were 7 in Pendleton where my farm is located.

Guys I hunt with have seen a few of them this year. Hunting season is open from the 4th Saturday in November thru the end of February.

We've gotten pics of them on the farms I hunt and one guy I hunt with shot one a few years ago but couldn't find it.

How big is a bobcat? Coyote size?

A big one is over 30 pounds from what I have seen.

I know the response is going to be "no it is a Bobcat" but I was out with some guys this weekend that have lived on a farm in Boone County all their lives and they both claim there is a Mountain Lion that came through their property, they saw it, and the Coyotes they normally hear all the time haven't been heard from since.

Aren't cougars like 2 or 3 times the size of a bobcat? Seems like one could tell the difference.

Yes but that isn't the issue, the issue is absent proof most people refuse to believe it.

Stockier animals than the coyote.

Black bears, mountain lions and Bigfoot. There have been claims of seeing them locally, yet no images.

Long distance photos in the dark aren't exactly smart phones strongest feature.

yeah pretty close. I would assume like more critters, the further north you get the bigger the animal gets.

How about this critter that was found in Boone Co. while deer hunting.

Id have crapped my pants if I saw that thing.

Owsley County, where I live, has a good population of Bobcats, and quite a few black bears. The bears have migrated in over the past 20 years from the counties south of us.

 

Also way too many coyotes. I wish they had stayed west of the Mississippi but it’s my understanding they crossed the frozen river during the very cold and snowy winters of 1976/77 and 1977/78. I know that there were zero coyotes in eastern Kentucky prior to the 1970’s.
