It can be done! Someone above stated that they will let you get away with more movement than a yote will, and this is very true, bobcats are very curious and aren't so apt of getting down wind trying to smell ya.If ya get a chance,rent the video called Verminator, with Randy Anderson and Rick Paillet, and you will see several cats called in, very close, and will be amazed at how, dumb they are.I took one several years ago at 13 yrds., after having 12 miss fires.The cat simply sat down while I kept slowly bolting my action and feeding single shells in, until BOOM, I got him, and on the vidoe I'm talking about, there are two bobcats that are sitting down and they shoot at them once, with 22 mag. and the cats do flinch, but don't run away, and they pay.And, from what I've seen, even when they decide that something isn't right, they will sneak away slowly, never running.I'd suggest setting up with a buddy doing the calling near by, and sit and call for 45 minutes, use a higher pitched distress, they seem to like them better, and wait them out, and I'd bet you will get one sooner or later.LOL!
