INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has closed the bobcat trapping season after reaching the statewide quota.
The season was scheduled to run from November 8 through January 31, or until the quota of 250 bobcats was reached.
The framework of Indiana's bobcat season was carefully designed with a total harvest limit based on population data collected throughout the state. Databases and reporting mechanisms were put into place to allow for close monitoring of the total season harvest.
“Licensed trappers had a successful first bobcat trapping season,” said Geriann Albers, DNR’s furbearer and gamebird program leader. “DNR will review what we’ve learned from this season as we move forward with regulated harvest and bobcat management.”
