OPOSSUM, STRIPED SKUNKS and WEASELS: No closed season, except Sundays. No limits.
BOBCAT (WMUs 2A, 2C, 2E, 2F, 2G, 2H, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 4A, 4C, 4D and 4E): Jan. 16-Feb. 9. One bobcat per license year. Licensed furtakers may obtain one permit each.

In Pa if you're a skunk, weasel or 'possom you worship on Sundays.
Did some trapping with my dad and brothers when I was young. It's hard to believe that we didn't think it was barbaric. My deceased Father's house has an over abundance of displayed game. But when you grow up in a hunting culture that's just the way it is.

In his 80s he did abandon hunting because he said all the city yahoos were coming up and shooting anything that moved. Then when they saw what they shot if it wasn't big enough they wouldn't tag it and move on to a bigger kill.

I do wish I had a wild turkey for Thanksgiving though.

State Wide Ban on Pelt trapping of Native Bobcats
updated: Nov 21, 2015, 6:30 PM

By Julia Di Sieno, Animal Rescue Team, Inc

Thanks to your three years of help, on August 5, 2015 the California Fish and Game Commission voted 3-2 in favor of adopting a statewide ban on the pelt trapping of bobcats. But a few procedural steps remained before the ban could officially take effect, and paperwork delays very nearly resulted in yet another year of trapping. Ban supporters were doing some white knuckling as the 2015/16 bobcat trapping season, originally scheduled to open on November 24, 2015 was fast approaching. Happily, the final hurdle was overcome last Friday when the Office of Administrative Law approved the ban with enough time for the prohibitions to go into effect on November 20, 2015.
