Fortunately, Bobcats being the elusive critters they are, will escape capture and will erradicate the griz on Nov. 17th saving the US Fish & Wildlife Service countless law suits filed by dark pink clad tree huggers because of griz de-regulation.

You'd be lucky to even find a bobcat in the woods.

You WOULD however be sure to find them spanking the Griz on Nov. 17th in OUR HOUSE. But I doubt you could trap one of those bobcats.....
