Default Close call with Bobcat

Was out the other day for an evening bow hunt, was hunting on the ground for a change of pace, and noticed some movement to my right, out of nowhere this bobcat shows up, must have heard my turkey calling. Anyway he was only 15 feet away when I first saw him, and there was nothing between us except air, so I just froze and hoped he would angle down the hill a little, no luck, he walked right up to me, he was up wind so he couldn't detect me yet. He came within arms reach of me, and we were looking into each others eyes, what a beatiful creature! Biggest Bob I have ever seen. Almost 3 feet from nose to rump. anyway, I couldn't stare anymore, and had to blink, you should have seen the look on his face change! Like, OH $H!T, what am I so close too! he turned and bolted, and I started to shake, took me a 1/2 an hour to stop. What an experience to be that close to a wild Bob! They are truely beatiful!
