Bobcat pelt prices and demand have been at a high for the last five years.
China is a leading exporter of fur clothing and a major processing base for fur trade.
Growing demand for bobcat pelts results in trapping and killing of about 1,500 bobcats in Utah each year and sold for more than US $300.
A Division of Wildlife Resources now considers Bobcat Management Plan and the Utah Wildlife Board is eager to establish a plan to adjust the length of the season or put a limit on trapping permits in case the bobcat population starts dwindling.
