(August 2016) Earlier this month, we took down the last of our trail cameras for the 2016 field season. Between mid-March and mid-August of 2016, we conducted 2-week camera trapping surveys at a total of 37 sites — 33 within Coshocton County, and 4 in southern Holmes County. Although we will be analyzing the data collected for some time to come, the main finding of this season’s field work is that we photo-captured bobcats at 5 new sites, 4 within Coshocton County and 1 in southern Holmes County. To our knowledge, the Holmes County sighting represents the first verified sighting of a bobcat in that County since the extirpation of the species from the state.
Here is a photo-sampler from the 2016 season!
