Default An all time FIRST in Maryland for me!!!

I went suburbia bowhunting this AM. 260 acre piece of land we effectionally call the zoo. I didn't see a solitary deer which is a rarity. What I did see really made my day. It had gotten light, the wind was blowing pretty good. I'm sitting there looking in the direction I feel the deer will come from. Then I saw it... I said dog or something... about 80 yards out. When it hopped up on this big blow down I said NOPE.... it's a DANG CAT... It's a GREAT BIG BOB CAT. Whoa Nellie!!! The landlord told me a couple years ago someone had seen one. I figured they didn't know what they saw. Well, I put the old Swarovskis on him and I "Tought I saw a Putty tat". His eyes were burning holes in me. He must have seen me reach for the binos. I'm all camo and sitting in the cradle of a triple tree looking between two, but he saw me. He turned on the log and walk away. HE dropped down behind the log. In a few seconds his head pops up and we're eyeball to eye ball again. He drops down behind the long. I see his back moving along behind it going away. He reached the end, pops up and checks me out... then slinks away. That bugger picked me off with the slightest of movement. He was traversing along behind a row of million dollar houses, but this wasn't any house cat. I got a good look at both ends and this was genuine bobcat. COOL. But I still saw NO DEER!!![:'(]
