Utah Bobcat Management Plan 2007-2016
2007 Full Book
The purpose of the Utah Bobcat Management Plan is to direct the management of bobcats (_Lynx rufus_) in Utah in accordance with the mission of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) through 2016. The mission of UDWR is: "to assure the future of protected wildlife for its intrinsic, scientific, educational and recreational values through protection, propagation, management, conservation and distribution throughout the State of Utah". A combination of increasing numbers of bobcat trappers and high fur prices resulted in an unprecedented period of higher than average bobcat harvest in Utah beginning in 2001 and continuing through 2006. As a result, UDWR decided to evaluate and formalize the process by which bobcat harvest is regulated in the State. The Utah Bobcat Management Plan was developed by UDWR with the assistance of a group of Utah citizens representing major stakeholders concerned with bobcat management and conservation.
