I see bobcats every once in awhile and it's always such a treat. One had a lovely auburn coat that actually was more fox color but with spots and that bobbed tail. Usually the ones we see our tan or brownish, or greyish. We saw our biggest one a couple of weeks ago. He was the size of a big lab dog. Such things of beauty, I hate that people want to kill them. And their coats ONLY look good on them.

http://projectbobcat.org/why-california-should-ban-bobcat-trapping/
" The Federal government established the current limit of 14,400 California bobcats killed per year in the late 1970s, based on studies whose authority was strongly challenged. Challenged in court, in fact: in 1979, the group Defenders of Wildlife sued to block export of bobcats from California, charging that the limit was based on faulty population estimates and assumptions about how quickly bobcats replenish their population after being hunted or trapped.

Defenders of Wildlife prevailed in court: a judge ordered a halt to export of bobcat pelts from California in 1982, and said that freeze could be lifted only when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) came up with scientifically accurate estimates of California’s bobcat population and its ability to absorb losses to trapping and hunting. FWS never provided that estimate, and yet the court order banning bobcat trapping was lifted in December 1982 when changes to the Endangered Species Act made the case legally moot.

Instead of using actual data, the state’s Department of Fish and Game — now renamed the Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) — has used that spurious 14,400-bobcat limit for the three decades since it was completely dismantled in a court of law.

Let’s say that again: a court agreed that the bobcat quota for California was based on bad science back in 1982, and demanded that FWS provide data for bobcat hunt management that was actually scientifically valid. It never got that data, but thirty years later we’re still using the same quota."
