Crazy that it happened to you, the bobcat thing.

Tonight, I spent two hours trying to get a bobcat in close enough to hit with the shotgun. I didn't want to blow it all to hell with the .243 AI. I have been in this spot numerous times during the day and late evening and never seen one before. When I first saw it, I was thinking it was a dumb grey fox, but it hung out there for a long time. It would kind of sneak in, then go out. Finally got a good look through the scope and saw what it was. Easily could have killed it about 80 yards out, but still, my thought was to save the hide. It circled us then dissapeared and I would drive around until I spotted it again. Watch it for a while come to the call, then it would be gone again....and again....

Friday, I will be more prepared with a little less explosive round.

First time I have ever seen one in the wild too.
