Abstract
Thirteen bobcats of all age and sex classes were captured, fitted with radiocollars (Advanced Telemetry Systems, Inc., Isanti, Minnesota), and monitored from October 1995 to March 1999. At time of capture, bobcats were classified as adult (>18 months) or juvenile based on body size, reproductive condition, and tooth replacement (Crowe, 1975a). Independent telemetry locations (>12 h apart) for each bobcat were recorded 1 to 2 times per week throughout most of the study period (Kamler, 1998). Seasonal home ranges were calculated using the 95% minimum convex polygon (Mohr, 1947) method for animals with ?20 locations during summer (April-September) and winter (October-March; Kamler, 1998). However, most young bobcats dispersed before 20 locations were obtained, or they were not located during all attempts after dispersal, so minimum home ranges were calculated to show their estimated area of use.
