Not trying to be contrary but if I see a bobcat in my yard and I call the GW and he has nothing to do and he rushes over, what exactly will he do? Can I also call him for possums, raccoons, rattlesnakes, and cougars?

Them dudes are smart I'm guessing you figured that out already.

Well no one said he should rush over. They didn't just see it in their yard. It's been there everyday for awhile. Wardens trap and relocate nuisance wildlife all the time. I'm just looking for suggestions. I don't think they own a gun. Not even a pellet gun. So that's not an option. I was hoping someone might know of someone who could trap it for a reasonable price.

Several people in our neighborhood use them in their flowerbeds to keep the deer out

i would like it in my yard

Well, if you don't want to shoot it, maybe you could try reasoning with it? Ask it if there is something that it would take in trade for leaving the yard? Maybe it was there first. In that case it would be best to leave the house and yard to it and move on down the road.

ABSOLUTELY

I would be tempted to keep my bow hanging on the back porch.

I would shoot it. These people aren't like me. Just trying to find a solution for them

How 'bout just throwin' rocks at the darn thing? If it attacks it becomes a danger and can be shot. Just sayin'.

Just thinking out loud here....
Could it have been a pet?
Most wild cats won't take up residence in that close of proximity to humans.

I hear ya, forgive my humorous sarcasm. I can understand too that some people are not hunters or understand the food chain thing, but it is either-or apparently. I am very surprised that a Game Warden would not remove the animal. They remove alligators all the time when people call about them in their yards. I think they just need to talk with the right person in the chain of command at the Game Wardens office.

I would play the "danger to children" card with them. Unless of course these folks live out in the rural area.

Tell them to pee all around the yard, bobcat might not leave but it will save them money on water bill.

They do it all the time on Lonestar Law.

Right. GWs ride around all the time saving baby squirrels. Question is still out there. What would a GW do?

But back to the problem. Would a motion activated LED light annoy a bobcat enough to drive them off?

I heard they hate catnip. Get a couple of bags of shredded catnip and spread it around the yard.
