It all came together tonight …. Today about 10:40 I get an alert from my cell cam I hung in December for predator season. It was a picture of a big bobcat . I requested an Hd photo. About an hour later the Hd photo came. Not only was it a big bobcat but it was actually two!
I texted my buddy saying I doubt they’d cross the road before dark and asked if he wanted to join me for his first ever predator hunt . Told him two sets of eyes is necessity on a bobcat stand . He agreed and the plan was set . We got set up around 4 I set him up the ridge in the direction I was sure they’d most likely come from . And I covered the low side thicket from a ridge about 15 yeds to his rite …. I start calling for a few minutes ,I’m 9:55 in when my phone vibrates with a text from my friend that says “in field” so I adjust my position quickly to favor the field side . A few seconds later I see a flash of movement big four legged animal moving quickly from rite to left towards call. I get down on the rifle out the scope up and it’s a big pine tree . What ever it was stopped rite there . I waited a few minutes and muted the call. Jay said when I did that the cat jumped up onto a downed log to get a look towards the call . He had a wide open 70-75 yard shot broadside and he let the 22 magnum eat. Cat dropped like a stone!!!! Great hunt with a great friend .
I’ve been calling predators for years and wanted a cat bad for 3 seasons now . Have came close but never found one I had shot two seasons ago. Incredible his first hunt one walks rite in his lap
Nice cat. Congrats. Can feel the adrenalin in your story. Good work
Nice, congrats Wilga, cool looking creature up close!
Congratulations beautiful bobcat a truly magnificent creature!
Congrats. Small female? Weight?
a beautiful animal and a nice hunt.
Congratulations! What do you do with it now? Just asking.
Get a full mount with a drakevwood duck in the mouth is my idea
Awesome I have called in more cats than coyotes the last few years always neat to watch them stalk you. I once had one come in and would go from tree to tree and by the time I saw it it was 15 feet away and spotted me.
Do you shoot them spike ?
I don't get it. I know I know I'm an outcast but shooting a bobcat or a coyote does nothing for me.
The first one I shot was a small female and got her mounted. I said ok no more cats and then I called in a huge bobcat and said Ef it shot him but never found him. I tracked it for a ways in the snow. When I shot he turned at the last second and I guess I hit him bad. I say him because he was an absolute giant.
I’d like a hand warmer thing made from bobcat or coyote fur
Congrats. I’ve chased them with a cage/ trapping without success. Be safe and enjoy the challenge. There’s nothing easy about fooling those predators.
