First Bobcat

[Falcon]

Got lucky on Halloween targeting deer. Sitting atop a slash pile, this cat magically appeared. Missed my first off hand shot, and took my time on the second shot. Getting a pelt done.

He was on top of the pile or you were? Have heard of cats around slash Iles many times before

My first bobcat. He was on the move heading toward a flock of turkeys.

 

[Pilsner]

Some of the most underrated meat walking around the woods right there. Not to mention a beautiful pelt.

What caliber did use? I made the mistake of shooting one with a .243. Rear angling broadside shot made a mess.

 

[Cap'n Bruce]

I used my 270 Win as I was hunting deer at the time. It was about 100yds out and also made a mess, but I hid it for the pic I posted. Actually looked a lot like yours.

I shot mine incidentally also. If I were hunting bobcats specifically, would probably use a rimfire or .17/.22 Hornet.
