While simultaneously researching Bobcats, the New Hampshire Game and Fish Commission is considering reopening a trapping season on the estimate 1100 adult "cats" that roam the state..............1 Bobcat for every 3-4 miles of viable habitat---Not a large enough population(my opinion) to put under the pressure of an annual trapping season, especially when trappers can use hounds in the pursuit,,,,,,,,,,, the history of these Bobcat trapping seasons is not pretty---having brought the population to near extirpation--- only some 100-150 animals as recently as the 1980's...........Lynx might also be in jeopardy as they are near identical look-a- likes to Bobcats.............Lynx are starting to reappear in the northern sections of the state, spreading their wings from the breeding population that exists in Maine...........# bobcat trapping season in New Hampshire
