Bobcat season is closed in MO now and without a permit, illegal to shoot. And I doubt you will be receiving a permit to save your cats. Night hunting with a light using a white lens or red is illegal too. So good luck with that.
How many acres you run there anyways?
Shaw, I posted an invite to you to come on down a month or so ago.
Perfect way for you to prove me wrong or a liar. Invite's still open.
And since you obviously think I'm lying or a BS artist, that offer still
stands. Come down early in the day and I will introduce you to some of the
neighbors and you can ask them about the mountain lions, bobcats, etc. Then
if you still have doubts, I have the perfect place for you to sit, listen and
watch. And since you think none of those animals exist, you won't need a gun
with you. I figure you can park your butt in the woods about 1/4 mile to the
south of the house. Nice little stream flowing there. About 4:00 pm would be
good and then sit there until around midnight. You should be perfectly fine
and safe at that location. Remember, there aren't any mountain lions, bobcats
or bears here and there definitly no wild dogs.
I'm guessing you have never been to or spent any time down in southern missouri.
As for how much land we have, I simply don't know. Bought this place and it was
only 20 acres. Then the guy gave us the deed to a bunch of wooded acres at closing.
Not sure why he did that. So where we actually live, we own everything between all
the roads. I guess if I thought it was worth it, I could go to the bank, get in
the box and figure out acres, etc from the deeds.
Then we've bought a few more places here and there.
Some near, some in the neighboring county. I'm hoping to pick up the neighboring place over
the weekend. He died and they are auctioning off 6 parcels of land.
And unlike some here, I actually live out in the country. My office is in the house and I'm
here pretty much 24/7 except when I have to run to town once in awhile. I know what goes
on in my area.
Here's a link to a few pictures of where the house sits.

I bought this place because I wanted the dog in those pictures. Place was ok but I wanted
that dog bad. She was written into the sales contract.
Sure glad I never brought up the stampeding buffalos.
