Ask Fish and Game: Bobcat Tags

Q. A friend told me I need a tag to hunt bobcats. Is this true? A. No. However, if you do harvest a bobcat, you must present the pelt to a regional Fish and Game office, the McCall office or a designated checkpoint to obtain a pelt tag and complete a brief harvest report within ten days after the end of the season. The tags are $2 each. An additional $1.75 vendor fee will also be charged each license holder when pelts are brought in for tagging. All pelts must be thawed before they can be checked. Bobcat season runs from December 14 to February 16 statewide.
