Congrats! That was some beautiful scenery to enjoy while waiting on that cat.

Looks like that load didn't damage the hide much. How does the off side look?

Nothing like a nice week of hunting in the beautiful outdoors to relax and unwind. I still think Jim needs to bring you to Ohio

Good Shootin there James. Cant wait to get me sights on a bobcat again. I say again because I had one sneek up on me when I was first into handgun hunting and lets just say that I had never practiced for a 7 yd shot before and didnt know where to aim my red dot. Pulled the trigger and shot the dirt. lesson learned

Very nice James, I'm jealous. I almost pulled the trigger on a nice bobcat in Kansas, be he jumped a large 10 pointer out of the pig grass, so I took him instead.

Nice job James, I didn't realize this was a new one so I hadn't opened it. Bobcats are never easy, no matter the method. The first animal I ever called in with a varmint call was a Bobbie. I was in a Juniper Tree out by the Nuclear site in the desert & it crawled right in on me before I ever saw it. I had a Winchester 62A pump with a cheap scope on it & it was off a little bit. I held off & shot 7-8 times trying to hit it but couldn't get lucky. I was still in high school & didn't know how to adjust the scope. Pretty exciting to see one almost at your feet. Again, congratulations!
Dick
