Is there bobcats in Ohio

Answer 1

there aren't supposed to be. supposedly the last wolf killed in Ohio was in 1842. http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/entry.php?rec=1132

however, there are numerous eyewitness reports cropping up (ex: http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/entry.php?rec=1132)

my parents saw a wolf in their yard in columbiana county, Ohio.

also, there have been wolves kept as pets or at research/educational facilities, or in transportation, that could escape and thrive for a time..

Answer 2

Yes, in every one of our 88 counties. I live in Stark County (North Canton, Plain Township) and have been watching a large one for about a week now (December 2008) and have gotten it on video to show some neighbors that don't believe me. I'm seeing it in the corn field behind my house in the mid mornings, around 9:30-11:30 AM. We have a few brush/dirt piles in this field and I have seen it enter one of them on two ocassions. I think this may be it's den. We have heard them two or three times at night the last two summers. What people don't realize is when they are calling, most of the time the pack sounds like a bunch of teenagers yelling and having a crazy party. I know this sounds odd but I never hear them calling like the T.V. westerns play it. I wasn't sure if I could tell the difference between a coyote and a small dog that is similar in appearance, but after seeing this one, there's no doubt what you're looking at.
