Bobcat stories of Jigger Johnson:

Once, the Jigger used a deer carcass to lure two bobcats under a tree that he had climbed. While the bobcats were having their feast, Johnson pounced on them and bagged them, live, barehanded. One of these cats was sold to the University of New Hampshire, which wanted a wildcat for use as a mascot, for the sum of $50.

On another occasion, a man from Portland, Maine asked the Jigger if he could catch him two bobcats for a show he was doing, and if he could, he would pay him $25. Jigger agreed, and captured two bobcats and tied their feet together and started out for the train station, occasionally hitting their heads together to keep them quiet.

Johnson asked the stationmaster how much it would cost to ship the cats to Portland, and after about ten minutes, the stationmaster revealed to Jigger that there wasn't any tariff on shipping bobcats, thus he could not ship them.

Johnson ended up hiring a taxi driver to drive him to Portland, and he hand delivered the cats himself.

In later life, Jigger was known to catch wild cats alive barehanded. One such time, he went into the Boston and Maine's dynamite shed at the bottom of Gorham Hill at night and caught a bobcat in the dark, without any light to see.

A large group of men, who were afraid to approach the shed was watching. Jigger came out with a box of dynamite under one arm and a squalling, pissed off bobcat under the other.

Do *not* e-mail the distressed animals, whatever you do.

US Mail it is.

If you have their number.

I guess they mean “don’t e-mail Wildlife Rescue” rather than “don’t e-mail distressed animals.”
So why does Wildlife Rescue exist if not to find distressed wild animals?

Comic relief?

I once read of a hunter who raised and trained a brace of Bobcats (Lynx rufus) to act as hunting cats.
