I dunno much about scat, particularly bobcat.

I've seen plenty of coyote poop. Applesauce kind, horse manure kind, the really runny calf poo kind, and the kinds I hate the most...
The pheasant feathers and deer fur kind!

Why do coyotes always go in the road? So far on all the trails I have walked I have never seen it on or near a trail... only right in the middle of a dirt road, or railroad track.

But where do cats go? Do they bury it?

The first bobcat Red and I called in was 65' from a road, right next to the trail where elk hunters had been walking by off and on all week. So I know he must've been near the road himself.

Are the bobs doin' it in the road too? How do I find/tell if it's bobcat sign., or coyote?

Let's seriously talk some ****!

Most cat litter boxes I've found have been set just off a trail, 5 to 15 feet and along rocky ridge faces. They look and smell like litter boxes. Coyotes are going for visibility as markers.

Thanks Catskin,

That is a cool site, I learned (and am learning) a lot there.

I think I know a crag, where I've climbed, that has one of those "litter boxes". I'll have to look for them now.
I guess cat season closes for us next week so we can spend a lot more time just lookin' and learnin' and not stopping to make so many stands.

We may just end up driving over the hill to shoot soon anyhoo

Knowledge is Power.
