New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Endangered & Non-Game Species Program (ENSP) Bobcat Project: 2005-2010
Mr. Cramer conducted scent post surveys (motion camera) work with ENSP through a volunteer program, and obtained photos of bobcats (Lynx rufus) from areas in Warren and Sussex Counties, New Jersey where bobcats were suspected, but had not been confirmed to be located. Mr. Cramer also worked with ENSP Principal Zoologist live-trapping and radio collaring bobcats from Sussex and Warren Counties. Responsibilities included setting, baiting, re-baiting as required, daily checking traps, releasing non-target species (raccoons, opossums, skunks), contacting ENSP when a bobcat was caught, and assisting with collaring and releasing of bobcats. Data obtained from radio collars was analyzed for various reasons including but not limited to: determining home ranges of bobcats, travel corridors and travel restrictions (ie. Large highways).
