For areas where they’re thick, are they harder on newborn fawns than coyotes? I thought they were always more of a rodent eater.
Short answer; Although there have been questions about the impact of bobcats on game birds and deer,
no study anywhere in the United States, has concluded that bobcats are a limiting factor on populations of game animals. Study of the stomach contents, has shown such an insignificant amount of game animal (including turkey) matter, that the impact from Bobcats to these prey, is so small as to be immaterial.

Other than fur harvest or “trophy” mounts, there is absolutely no scientific based reason, to kill a Bobcat. Speculation on game animal population reduction due to Bobcat predication, has been proven to be purely rumors.
