Here in Missouri, we are allowed to harvest bobcats with traps or weapons in season.. if you are south of Interstate 70....you may not generally take one north of I-70 unless there is stock or pet predation... which means something is killing or harming/stalking stock or pets......the animal just going through your property isn't enough of a reason to trap or kill it... without evidence of the other...It might be the same where the OP lives.
