Beautiful bobcat killed at edge of town

Fairly large specimen seen; animals now more prevalent in Adair County

To the editor, CM:You might be interested to know that a most beautiful bobcat was run over just at the edge of town Wednesday morning. I found it laying in the middle of North 55 about halfway between the new United Citizen's Bank and the 551 exit ramp.

It was a healthy looking speciman of 25 to 30 pounds and was probably run over between 7:30 and 8:00 A.M. A little unusual to see one out and about in the daylight hours. It maybe was being chased by dogs or something. Then again, maybe a hunting trip that carried him further from home than usual.

Thanks,
Billy Joe Fudge
Thanks for the tip. Sure would like to have seen it. I didn't get to see it. It seems there are plenty of bobcats in the area now. During 2006, 19 were taken in Adair County. Nineteen were killed by hunters. Eight were trapped. Ten were female, nine were male. These figures are from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. Maybe another reader will spot one in the wild and we can try for a photo of a live one.

Breeding area backyard Kitty, Kitty is big surprise



2007-02-01 - Just west of Breeding, KY - Photo By Cynthia A. Meyer.
Cynthia A. Meyer writes: I took this picture of a bobcat on November 4, 2006. The photo was taken near the corners of Leatherwood and Chestnut Grove Roads. I was on my way to my granddaughter's soccer game, when I saw what I had hoped was my granddaughter's cat which had run off a few years ago. It is a startling moment when you call "Here kitty, kitty... Here Blueberrian ..." only to realize the Kitty Kitty is a bobcat ! ! ! I quickly snapped a few pictures. Since then several bobcats have been seen near the Adair/Metcalfe county line.
