Little kitty ??

[Steeleco]

I have an inclination to try for a Bobcat or Lynx in the upcoming season. Which am I most likely to see in the Lower mainland? I'm thinking Bobcat, but before I go and get the tag, I've got some homework to do.

Thanks in advance.

I would think bobcat aswell,saw one in the ubc research forest in mapleridge earlier this year.Unfortunately there is NO HUNTING allowed there.Good Luck

Steelco:

Bobcat over Lynx

Lots of good places around the eastern Fraser Valley and the lower Coquihalla to get a Bob.

IMHO the Lynx are more to the northern part of the Coq such as Merritt. I got on Bob at the Silver lake gravel[shooting] pit, and one off the lower Sowaqwa FSR.

I have seen many Bobs around the Vedder, Chilliwack lake and Chilliwack river area, as well as Silver lake and Coldwater areas.

Get a caller [Rabbit distress] and try calling them in :p

You'll get one

I worked up the north end of Harrison Lake this summer and seen 4 bobcat right around camp at the 84km on the west Harrison road. Also seen 2 up the sloquet creek road just past the Indian reserve. Either that or it was the same damn cat everytime which might be possible.:redface:

[Steeleco]

I've got a rabbit distress call, the kind you bite in your teeth. Just have to pick the right spot.
Thanks guys.

[BearSniper]

Just checked the Regs.

Looks like theres no open season for Lynx in region 2.
So you have to go just beyond the old toll booth or north of Spuzzum:razz:

i've seen many bobcat tracks in snow while fishing the Vedder river during steelhead season.
Also seen what i'm pretty sure is bobcat poop in the forests around Chillwack lake. So if i were you, i'd definitely give Chilliwack a try.

The most pussy down there is not far from the Granville st bridge..

[Barracuda]

Skagit has them.

let me know if you would like to go out with the hounds.


I have called in these as well as tracked and even on occasion cornered / treed with the flea farms

I am thinking that you have a better chance at tagging out on your neighbours cat :p

[treeclimber]

there are lots of bobcats in the hills around the Wack, thick bush though

Saw one on Vedder mountain once.

[Steeleco]

I've seen a few members her have good luck with them. I've also seen quite a few bits of evidence of critters myself in behind Mission in a few spots. And almost always can find tracks after a bit if snow. Once saw a mother and her 2 little ones up Sylvester road once.

It's worth a try if nothing else.

Just like a cat isnt it !? (to do that)

If you dont have hounds, mouse squeeks work very well for trigger. (done in more than a few lynx)

[duckhunt]

I've seen a bobcat in the Sqaumish when i was bear hunting two years ago.

[Elkhound]

Hahahahaha too funny Kyle. That cat has your number

[Buck]

I've seen a few up Chehalis i got up there a few times this year but no luck.Rabbit distress is what i was using.Still alot of snow up in there.Also went to the lower Coq and once again to much snow.Man i need one of those quads with the tracks.

[dutchie]

Talk to Proguide66 He just trapped one a few days ago... If i am right he lives in Pemberton

so what's the technique with hunting these guys around the lower mainland? set up on a clear cut and start calling with a small animal distress?

That's what I was going to try, but unfortunately I never did get out, all this damn snow and a U/S clutch on the Jeep. Still would be fun to get out and try calling them in and taking their picture!

[FlyingHigh]

lemme know how it goes for you when you do get out. dunno when i'm gonna be able to get out, since work is getting stupid.
