I don't know the bobcat population.... Sightings are not a good indicator of population, although i know there are a lot more yotes than cats. I agree sightings are not a good indicator of populations. I can only go by trail-cam pictures, and I generally get 50 coyote pictures to every one bobcat picture.

Someone had a trail cam picture of a bobcat with a fawn, on the Qdma website last year. That picture is in the latest issue of Quality Whitetails.

Here's my all-time favorite trail-cam bobcat picture:  Great pic!! That a homebrew cam? Yup. One of my original homebrews using a Sony digital camera. Although I don't use homebrews anymore (I only use black-flash cams, and no one has figured out how to adequately black-flash a homebrew yet).

I kill every one I can, just like coyotes. They eat my turkeys.

I'm a cat lover, and I don't think their density (in my area) nor predation numbers warrant killing them.
I never thought so either until we started trapping coyotes. Even on places where we see few bobcats and lots of yotes on cameras, we kill nearly 1:1 bobcats to coyotes. Killed 26 yotes and 24 cats on one place last year and 28 yotes and 25 cats this year on same place! a 46# bobcat is rarer than a 200" buck in Alabama, most are under 30#s I have spent thousands of hours in the wood over the last eight years and have not found one single dead deer that I attributed to a bobcat, a BUNCH from yotes, esp fawns. Turkeys, skwerls, rabbits, birds all fall to cats, but I doubt cats kill many uninjured deer or any grown deer. Deer hair in cat scat dosen't mean the cat KILLED the deer only that it ate some deer. I still ain't shooting bobcats...  Hate to say it Troy but you sound a LOT like the biologists a few years ago trying to justify that yotes were NOT a problem to the deer herd!! 
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine

I get about 6 bobcat picture per year. I get about 1,000 coyote pictures, and see them regularly. Not saying my system makes sense, but I like cats, so I don't kill them without a good reason. I don't like dogs, and coyotes are basically a dog, so I shoot them from time to time.
