The bobcat I killed back in high school was 29 lbs. The taxidermist could not find a foam body big enough for him.

My neighbor has one mounted that makes mine look like a kitten. It looks more like my lab than a bobcat. It was (dont qoute me on this) 45 lbs. I do know that is was alot closer to 45 lbs than 30.

I have seen some big ones, but when you think about how much weight was on the hoof I'd guess 35 pounds for the extra big and 15-20 for average adult. There is a lot of leg there.

i think this is totally hilarious but.......... there's this woman that is just getting into hunting.. bought some land, been doing some work on it.. long story short, took a bunch of pic........ swears up and down she has a bobcat that weighs, now get this, 100 lbs !!!!!!! i about fell out of my chair laughing and when i looked up i realized she was serious. so i wiped the tears outta my eyes and calmly tried to say "oh really" "how wonderful" "wow that is sure a biggen ya got there"........ don't get me wrong i love her to death and bless her heart she is sweet as can be to me but i need some proof/evidence to give her to help explain to her that unless the bobcat escaped from US genetic testing facility, there just aint no way in hell it weighs 100 lbs... i hate to see her tell other people that aren't so caring as myself :-D about this mutant bobcat....

i know im having a lil fun with this as if you can't tell but i wish i did have a MWFP website or something which could give some insight on this for me.

A 100 lb bobcat....... wheph.... 100lbs yall !!!! Muahahaha hee hee hee haww haww heee ppphhhphphphhphpphhhphhphhh

your kids are no longer safe in the woods anymore. "simpson co. paper" "a small lion cub was spotted early yesterday leaving the crime scene after mauling a local jogger and caring off an avid duck hunter who frequents ducksouth.com"


a good website yall.. i need something... help me out here

i saw the picture.... its a bobcat but nothing unordinary... i've seen many and this one is not anything to fuss about but i can't convince, no let me take that back, im not going to try, to change her mind on the fact that the picture she has is very normal.
