sharpshooter welcome the names in bold are just the people that checked in.

As for the Bobcat story Not much to tell, It was the end of October and I was bow hunting one of my better stand locations. The stand is located about 30 yds off a field in the back corner (good staging area). I have shot and passed on several deer from this location Including my largest 8pt 2 years earlier. I had just settled in for the afternoon wait. I could here something coming down the hill to my left so I stood and prepared my self for a shot. That is when I noticed it was a bobcat slowly working his way down the hill in the dry leaves. I quickly ranged the trail he was on (27yds). Once he came into range and passed behind a large oak I came to full draw. Not knowing how to stop the cat without spooking him, I decided to "try" to meow like a cat. He locked up all breaks giving me a perfect shot. Bracketing him with my 20yd an 30yd pins took a deep breath and pulled through the shot. In a flash the arrow hit his mark and the cat took off out of sight. Giving him 30 mins I just had to get down, and 35yds later tucked up under some blow down brush was my bobcat. A tom cat weighing in at 35lbs.
