Nice shot of the bobcat as they are quite illusive and are hardly ever seen by anyone in person. Setting up a trail camera is the thing to do. Just know your gear and choose the right site for it to be set up.
Another excellent way to view wildlife or to simply enjoy the great outdoors is to head onto the water – in a canoe or kayak. We’ve made some videos of our trips in British Columbia, Canada. Check ‘em out at:

Two friends and I saw a large bobcat last year on the athletic field of St. Bonaventure which is adjacent to Allegheny River trail.
Several things surprised. It is usually a heavily used area. This was just a few days after students had left for break, but normally the field is being used. And hundreds of people use the river trail each day.
Also, the bobcat was wet and muddy-looking from the river which is parallel to the bike trail.
I’ve seen two in the past that were much smaller than this one. It was large and had a strong stride, but did not run so we had a good look. The funny thing is it kept walking right towards the direction of the DEC which is next door to Bona’s.
I contacted DEC to share the story and they asked me to please document for the person in this jurisdiction as they are trying to track their whereabouts and look for patterns.
