Do bobcats make scrapes and bury there scat or only at territory markers? I have been finding alot of bobcat scat(I think it is) in the bottom of washes and low dry creek beds and didn't think it was bobcat scat, am I wrong in thinking they do bury it?

Yep, in the areas in the five States that we hunt Bobcat do not bury their Scat!

We find that a Cat, when it starts to feed will get up stretch and travel a short distance to a road or dry creek bed, some type of travel corridor, defecate, sometimes scratch or make a "Cat Kick", then proceed on about their business!

We find that an individual Cat will deposit Scat in the same place regularly.

Hope this helps!

Sounds like you found a good spot. Thats at least one cats home area, maybe more than one cat depending on how far away the toilets are frome each other. Good luck
