    WOW! A bobcat is my Holy Grail for my creekside trailcam! I have “captured” moose, innumerable deer, ‘yotes, ‘coons, turkey, fisher, fox, and fuzzy-tailed rats over 5-6 years, but can’t seem to get a bobcat. Maybe there is TOO MUCH animal traffic!

    Trail cameras are certainly fun, but I would advise a solar charger unless you want to spend your life’s savings on batteries.

    • I’ll trade ya. Straight up. Bobcat for moose.

        Ha! I actually got “eyes on” the moose several times on my property (near Wickham Marsh). She seems to have left the Adirondack Coast for now.

      It’s funny I can make it through thousands of photos on my trail cameras just using those crummey low end C batteries. This past year I set one up in the fall and checked it not until later this summer and still clicking away. I had about 4000 photos on the chip.

      Had probably 3 different Moose, deer, bear, coyotes, (no bob cat this year), turkeys, rabbits, a few hunters, dogs that should not be out in the woods alone… You just gotta find the right spot.
