Bobcat Hunters in Tennessee

[Mose]

Does any of you guys know anyone in East Tennessee that hunts bobcats? I know we have several in our area and would like to try hunting them in the winter after bears have denned, but I don't know how to get my dogs started on them.

I hunt in east tn, NC and VA. I am not an expert, experienced, or a very successful bobcat hunter. Kind of new to the bobcat hunting. Cut my teeth on bear like most people here. They banned bobcat hunting with dogs on North Cherokee so east tn cat hunting is primarily done on private land. I hunt them when we get snow. I hike trail and ride roads looking for tracks and then walk them out with the dogs to get them started.

I live lower in east TN and don't get much snow. Thanks for the info about not being able to hunt them on some WMAs, I'll have to check and see about them ones that are closest to me.
