Bobcats Return To Ohio 😀

[RD.]

Agreed. Our 7-pound dog wouldn't stand a chance. The only wild cats seen within the city limits where I live, are cougars, but seeing that Calgary is only 90 minutes south of me I suspect that it won't be too long before bobcats show up here as well.

Wow!

It’s a rare thing, but still.

Thats amazing, usually a good sign when predators return to their ranges. means the environment is healthy despite humans.

Used to see them regularly in MA living in Northern Worcester County and Hamden/Hampshire/Franklin counties. My father caught a 4 pack on his doorbell camera, but we were in farm and mountain country.

They are in Edmonton as well. I’d suspect they are also in your area.

Really? I was hoping they hadn‘t made it this far north. We are close to the river valley here too, but I have never seen or heard of any in RD….yet.

I wonder if what some folks are seeing in Edmonton area, are immature Lynx? I cannot find a single sighting reported of Bobcats in Edmonton area?
Not saying they couldn't be that far north in AB, but it would be rare. Same here in RD, where in Calgary they are now quite common.

Oh you maybe correct! I have a couple of dog park friends that said they seen them….but I very well could be mis-remembering what the said they saw. It most likely was lynx

Bobcats haven't been seen in Ohio since the year 1850. I'm personally excited.

I remember years ago a woman here in PA was selling bobcat cubs.
