A buddy of ours is having a bobcat coming in to his pen regular and not having much luck in trapping it. He's pretty much just helping himself. Any suggestions?

223 or 22-250

the dogs will get in good shape running them.

If he keeps the dogs out of the pen he might be able to trap it. I have seen them caught in fox and coyote sets.

I like to use the Ruger 204 nice long range and a nice calm night ..... Reach out and touch someone special

Wish I were closer, I'd bring the hounds over. Cats are very simple to catch, make a good cubbie with a chunk of meat in the back and use a foot hold with lite covering and LOTS of blocking.

there are some guys down your way that run bobcats with leopard curs if ya want i can dig out their number.. send me a pm

Thanks guys, the pen is in Ky

Bobcats are pretty dumb as far as traps go.You can catch them in cage/live traps fairly easy.Just set it close to where it is getting in,hang a feather in the back so it flutters,bait it with some canned mackerel,and put a little dirt over the floor.You may get by without the dirt on the floor but they don't seem to like walking on the wire floor.
