Bobcat
Hi.
Bobcat is one of the cats that I still have on my list.
Who hunted bobcat and could help me with suggestions? I shot already a mountain lion; it would be just for bobcat.
It should be either with hounds or with a caller.(FoxPro?)
I saw some nice videos on youtube where they used callers for bobcat and it worked great.
The price should be reasonable. I found places that take more than $5000 for a 5-day hunt or up to $7000 for a week.
Thanks for your help. Roger

jhaneyNorthern Canada has only lynx. You might try some parts of southern Canada or the States. I would think bobcat hunts in the States would be much cheaper than you have been quoted.
Good luck

SkylineThere are a number of outfitters in southern British Columbia that have dogs and offer hunts for bobcat as a sideline to their cougar hunts, but they are not cheap. You can locate them through GOABC.
As jhaney mentioned your best bet is in the States both for availability and pricing.

farbedoTexas would be my pick for calling bobcats. Calling seems to work quite well there for the cats. The tough part is seeing them coming in through the brush.
As for price, they are reasonable to cheap in Texas. Usually just part of the bag on a varmint hunt. Think 200-300 per day per gun. And you get to shoot coyotes, and grey fox as well. Some places throw in a hog or two just because they are sick of seeing them.
