Over the years I've probably seen 10 or so while actually on the stand. Missed one with my bow at 15yds [:@] You think a deer can duck an arrow?? A bobcat can turn himself inside out.

I also shot one with a 243 one day while on stand. Perfect shoulder shot at about 50 yds. He dropped and laid dead still for about 5 minutes then he started flopping around and the next thing I now he is high tailing it out of the county. I tracked him into a big log jam, where I let him be, no way was I going digging through there with a wounded cat holed up in there. Those critters are tough as steel.
