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.

My Dad just got a bobcat back from the Taxi, i don't care how big one is they'll scare the mess out of you when you walk around the corner into another room. i think i've jumped 2 or 3 times from that dang thing. lol!

my cousin killed a bobkitten this year weighed only about 3 or 4 pounds HAHA

We have killed them at our deer camp that were small and some big ones about 25 to 30 pounds but mostly around 15-20....and we have killed lots of dang coyotes....

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

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

Beastmaster, did you ever wonder if she might have seen a panther? Or do you think she's got big eyes?

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.
