When I was in university I trapped to help pay for tuition. Since I was out of province, I teamed up with another guy that I met through his wife whom I was attending classes with.
I wasn't familiar with bobcats but knew they were worth money. Buddy spotted tracks and we made a sure fire set for it. Another classmate decided to run the line with us the next morning before class because he had never seen a bobcat before.
Sure enough the bobcat had a nice stripe down its black back. We dispatched and reset. In class everyone was wondering what the stink was. Buddy's wife knew exactly what happened (her dad was a trapper and fur buyer). No one else could figure out who stunk - exactly.
Never did catch that bobcat.
