Is this a big bobcat?

This is the first time I have ever seen an actual bobcat, so I don't know if it really is big or just looks big to me. Picture of a healthy yote and a mangy yote to compare against.

It looks a bit big to me but I really don't know for sure since I've only seen one before, and it was stuffed. I do know that is one jacked up looking dog you got there!

it looks fair to average for the ones around here. i live 1/2 mile from a river so i see them pretty regular

I'd say a nice adult bobcat but I would not say it was overly big. Pretty average looking to me. 20 lbs or so.

It does not appear to be a big cat to me.It is healthy looking none the less and can be difficult to judge in a picture. What I could do for you though is come out there and call it up for you, they are easier to judge the size while on the tailgate.

I"ll agree with its an adult cat, that looks really healthy. Mayby just had a meal with a nice round belly.

They yote in the middle looks pretty bad. I hope someone can put him out of his misery.

Cool pics. I never get predators on camera, even over bait.

Now that was quick thinking Scott. Good luck.

Must be the time of year. I usually have one now and again, normally about 1 for every 25 or so deer but this camera had 16 yote pictures, 1 bobcat, and 1 doe since a couple days before blizzard up till yesterday. I can't get to my other cameras till it dries out some, I'll post anything worth mentioning.
