Hyperwrx Report post Posted November 27, 2014 The fur market has dipped 40% in the last 2 years. 2-3 years ago many 40+ inch bobcats with above average markings were $800-1000. Last year Arizona's top bobcat, a XL cat was $1350 I believe. Arizona's average bobcat last year was $275ish? Can't remember exactly. Poor fur handling can make an $500 turn into a $200 easily.

firstcoueswas110 Report post Posted November 27, 2014 What's a trap and young, or cage a crocket bobby worth anyways? Maybe 50 bucks more than a "regular sized" cat? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hyperwrx Report post Posted November 27, 2014 By all means everyone post their 30 pound bobcats. I myself was shocked last year when I caught 3 30 pound bobcats all on the same day on the trap line. I didn't have a scale at the time but eyeballing them, they were 30 easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hyperwrx Report post Posted November 27, 2014 In trapping, its not uncommon to catch multiple bobcats in one day. It has a lot to do with how many sets you have out. On the day above, I had caught 3 bobcats in the first 6 sets and had 3 dozen sets to go and didn't catch anything else. I know a fella is California who caught 7-8 in one day. High bobcat populations + good trapper + all the planets in alignment = $2000-2500 paycheck for a single day's collection. I never get that type of luck.
