Shaun from Jersey Boy Trapping trapped this bobcat after we had some of our livestock killed. The bobcat is getting a nice new home in a state forest far from residential areas. The rat was not harmed in the making of this video and will be going to a wonderful home :) Follow up video when we trapped another one . . . with no bait! http://youtu.be/nW5aI7WaE6g

We initially contacted Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. They informed us that a bobcat killing animals on your property is considered a nuisance animal. They said we could purchase a permit which would authorize us to kill the bobcat with a gun. We didn’t want to do that so after discussing other options, they gave us a list of trappers with special permits that safely trap and relocate bobcats. So. . . . . I had to pay to remove the bobcat from my backyard in a residential neighborhood and have it relocated to a preserve.
P.S. Two days ago, 3 of our goats were killed by 3 panthers. . . again Florida Fish and Wildlife was called. They put up cameras in our yard to take pretty pictures of the beautiful creatures but Panthers are protected and they are not relocated so for now. . . they are living in our yard eating our pets and there is nothing we can do about it.
