I saw a bobcat dead on I75 at grand blanc road some years ago. Called and reported it to the DNR, and it was gone an hour later. More recently found bobcat tracks on the flint river north of montrose and I also regularly find bear tracks and droppings along the cass river towards frankenmuth.
 
I seen a lynx while bow hunting in otisville area off m15 atleast that is what I was told it was. It was about 30lbs kinda yellowish in color short tail pointy ears I thought it was a bobcat because I had never seen one before. But my grandfather in law said he has seen lynx out there in millington where he lives and his description fit mine to a t...

A guy my dad used to ride to work with said he saw one about 7-8 years ago near the flint river bridge on M-57 just east of Montrose. Ive also heard of bear sightings in Saginaw County-St. Charles, Chesaning, and Albee.
 
My neighbor, an experienced hunter, told me he has seen a big bobcat in his back yard before. We live in Fenton, down from the nature preserve. Saw it one time. I have hunted and killed them, but further north. On my property up north, we have them, but they are very elusive. I see tracks all the time, but never see them in broad daylight. I got this guy 12 years ago

I got word from a very good source that a large adult bobcat was seen very near my treestand between Montrose, and Chesaning. He did capture it on video. I'm not sure how I feel about that. just when you think your at the top of the food chain lol this is a game changer for me, and will be keeping an eye out for it...whats the law on them?, do I shoot it?

Bobcats are trapped and released in that area during coyote and fox season all the time . There is no open season on them so man up and take a picture only.:evilsmile There population is increasing in the southern lower so it wont be too many more years till we can have a limited season.

????? We cant kill them at all? (leagally) I was under the impression that you could get one and if you did that u had to go in and get the special tag.
 
When was the last time a credible sighting of a bobcat or bobcats was/were made in Northeastern Genesee County and or Southwestern Tuscola County?

Northeast of Clio/Pine Run is Wildcat Corners, Lewis and Lake Roads intersection (in Northeastern Genesee County?). I was wondering if there have been sightings of Bobcats in this area?

Thanks in advance for your input.

I grew up 3 miles from there. The only one we ever heard of was near buell lake.

My dad's best friends grandpa and grandma owned the old harder wear store at the corner he said his grandpa just named the store wild cat corner. Said he had never heard of bobcats in the area.

But on the claims of seeing one recently my buddy swears to have seen one deer hunting in clio. Never got a picture of it. He is not one to lie though

I know that this question was asked some time ago, but, I think it was in the 80's, a Black Bear was hit on I-75 just north of Corunna Rd. If I remember correctly the vehicle that hit it was heading southbound.

My guess, at the time, was that either it was an escaped, or released, "Pet," or that it may have followed the Flint River south since the river is only about a mile north of where it was hit.

I live very close to where the OP reported his sighting, as well as the Grand Blanc Twp. sighting, and spend a lot of time outside, at night. To date I have yet to see, or hear, any Bobcat activity in the area. Lot's of other animal noise & activity out there at night, and I have heard some critters that I couldn't identify so who knows??

Knowing the area well I can easily see a cat staying out of sight if it choses too.

One night, last fall, I heard a rabbit meeting it's demise at a tree line about 200 yd's across the field and I just chocked it up to Coyote's since I hear them all of the time. I actually thought it was a young, inexperienced Yote because whatever was killing it took it's sweet time. Thinking about it now, it could have been a cat, possibly feral housecat, playing with that rabbit since the squealing would stop for a minute or so, then start up again for 10-15 seconds. This went on for about 5 minutes.
 
I grew up in Flint. We lived by a little wooded area and when I was younger my brother and I would catch the bobcats. Really cool animals. They are more like dogs than cats except the don't bark and actually looks like a big cat. I remember we had 2 babies for a couple days until we got caught and had to bring them back to where we found them. So yeah they are there. Their really not hard to see if you know where to look.
