Input: SAVANNAH | Remote-sensing cameras set up to help researchers count deer on Jekyll Island ended up capturing images of a more elusive animal that had never before been confirmed at the island state park. 
  
 The only prior evidence that bobcats may live on Jekyll Island was a photograph from the early 1900s showing pelts hanging in the gamekeeper’s cabin. A century later, park staff and island residents sometimes reported fleeting glimpses of the nocturnal predators. But nobody had proof. 
  
 That changed this fall as conservation staff for the Jekyll Island Authority were working to estimate the population of white-tailed deer and using cameras triggered by motion to photograph them at night. Two weeks apart, cameras on different parts of the island snapped photos before dawn of a lone bobcat with its stubby tail and white patches behind its ears. Park officials suspect both photos show the same animal. 
  
 “It’s the first definite, confirmed documentation of a bobcat on the island ever,�? said Ben Carswell, conservation director for Jekyll Island. “We have no way to be sure whether this animal showed up recently on Jekyll. They’re such secretive animals, it could be this one and others have been out here for some time.�? 
  
 The discovery prompted the state authority that manages Jekyll Island, known for its undeveloped beaches and maritime forests teeming with wildlife, to take a closer look in December for more bobcats prowling unseen at night. The island is home to few other predators, save for gray foxes and alligators. 
  
 The follow-up study didn’t turn up much. Cameras caught two more images of a lone bobcat. Carswell said there’s no way to tell if it’s a different animal than the one photographed in September. Meanwhile, pungent bait was left at 50 locations across Jekyll Island inside a circle of powdered lime to collect tracks from lured animals. The bait drew plenty of gray foxes and raccoons, Carswell said, but no bobcats. 
  
 “If we do have more than one bobcat on Jekyll Island, there aren’t very many more than one,�? Carswell said. “A few at most.�? 
  
 It’s possible the bobcat photographed in September came from the mainland and either trudged up the 5-mile causeway to Jekyll Island or even swam across the marsh, Carswell said. There’s longstanding uncertainty about whether larger bobcat populations have ever lived there. 
  
 According to Jekyll Island’s 2013 master plan for managing the island, bobcats probably once helped limit whitetail deer and raccoon populations, but evidence suggests they may have been exterminated by hunting during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 
  
 Bobcats are known to steer clear of humans and should pose no threat to Jekyll Island residents or visitors, Carswell said. 
  
 Even a breeding pair of bobcats living on the island could point toward a natural solution for how the state park ultimately handles a tricky problem with its deer population, said David Egan, an island resident and leader of the Initiative to Protect Jekyll Island State Park. 
  
 The Jekyll Island Authority board in July approved a report that recommended hiring government sharpshooters to thin what officials say is an overabundance of white-tailed deer on the island. Many residents oppose the idea, saying a park known for wildlife conservation shouldn’t resort to such lethal methods. The board hasn’t revisited the issue in months. 
  
 Despite their compact size, bobcats are known to prey on deer. 
  
 “Let’s say there’s actually two of them, a male and a female, then obviously we’re going to get more bobcats here down the road,�? Egan said. “But if it’s a lone bobcat, it won’t have much impact.�? ||||| Blog post by Ben Carswell. 
  
 The first-ever documented occurrence of a bobcat on Jekyll Island was recorded this Fall by Jekyll Island Authority Conservation staff. These two photos were taken by automatically-triggered cameras in two locations, four-miles apart in remote locations on the north end and south end of the island. Careful inspection and professional consultation has led us to the conclusion that the photos are of the same animal. It may be a young male that recently came from the mainland and has been looking for somewhere to establish a territory. Bobcats have been sighted on the Jekyll Island causeway before and could either cross the bridge or swim Jekyll Creek to get to the island. It is unknown at this time whether the animal we photographed is transient or here to stay or whether any other bobcats are present on Jekyll. A bobcat track was also confirmed from a third location on the island, but it is unknown whether this track was left by the same animal seen in the photographs. 
  
 We believe that bobcats were present on Jekyll historically due to the appearance of bobcat pelts in a photo taken inside the Jekyll Island Club game keeper’s cabin in the early 1900’s. However, skeptics have suggested that these pelts may not have come from Jekyll bobcats. Over the years, bobcat sightings have been reported sporadically, but have never before been confirmed with photographic documentation. 
  
 It is important to note that bobcats are NOT dangerous and will naturally avoid humans. There is no need to alter your daily routine on Jekyll Island because of this exciting discovery. If you live anywhere on the mainland, bobcats are probably nearby, but are rarely seen due to their secretive habits. One of the barrier islands in South Carolina, Kiawah Island (http://www.wildlifeatkiawah.com/bobcats.html), has 30-35 bobcats that are the pride of the island’s residents. The community values the vital role that the bobcats play in the overall health of the ecosystem. In the late 1980’s, bobcats where successfully reintroduced to Cumberland Island, just south of Jekyll. 
  
 This winter, we plan to conduct a survey that will use scented bait to attract bobcats to locations where their presence will be recorded by track or photo. We will use this scent station survey to address some of the various questions we have about the species on Jekyll. 
  
 If you think that you may have seen a bobcat on Jekyll Island, please call or email Director of Conservation Ben Carswell, with the approximate time and location of the sighting. If at all possible, please try to take a photograph of the animal. Bobcats have a short, stubby tail and are about twice the size of an average housecat. Adult males weigh 18 to 25 pounds and adult females weigh 15 to 20 pounds. Bobcats are yellowish, gray, or reddish-brown and spotted or streaked with brown, black, and/or white. |||||

Not long after authorities recommended hiring sharpshooters to thin out herds of white-tailed deer on Georgia's Jekyll Island, a more natural solution was spotted: Remote-sensing cameras set up to measure the deer population captured images of a lone bobcat, the first of its kind known to have been on the wildlife-rich island for more than a century, reports the Florida Times-Union. There had been rumors in recent years of bobcat sightings, but the only previous evidence of their presence on the island was a photograph from the early 1900s showing bobcat pelts hanging in the island gamekeeper's cabin. "They're such secretive animals, it could be this one and others have been out here for some time," the island's conservation director says. But while it's possible that the elusive animals could have been hiding out on the island for many years, the bobcat in the photos may be a young male looking for territory who swam to the island or walked up the 5-mile causeway, researchers wrote at Jekyll Island after the sightings this fall. Follow-up research that involved checking animal tracks around bait failed to produce any more evidence of bobcats, so researchers believe their numbers are very small and hope there's at least one breeding pair. (In California, meanwhile, state authorities have banned bobcat-, fox-, and coyote-killing contests.)
