Why are the bobcats not going to be on Settler Creeks, they deserve it way more than loggers point. I personally have shot like 5 irl, and they do not like open country, instead they prefer thick brush.

In the July 27th status update, they mentioned none of the reserves are final yet and are subject to change.

From the July 27th status update:

"The 40th resident of the EHR will live on Logger’s Point, Whitehart Island and Rougarou Bayou (preliminary reserves, still subject to change) and our vision is that it will be an extremely challenging animal to hunt. We’ll see where we end up at the end of the development and testing phase though. So, any more ideas?"

Our original plan was actually to add bobcats to SC, but we had to abandon that idea, because they are rather small and it's almost impossible to see them in the tall grass there. We will do some testing and see how it works there.

There are rabbits on SC that they could feast on, but maybe adding a 7th animal there could cause issues.

The bobcat is about 1.5x the size of a red fox. Since they have cottaintail rabbit on SC and bobcats are larger than them, I see no reason why the bobcats would not work on SC.
