Close encounters with a bobcat
I was set up on the back side of a place turkey hunting Sunday evening with my bow. I had been sitting for close to an hour with decoy out front of me about 20 yds hitting the call every so often with no luck at all. When all of a sudden I had leaves hitting my back and heard a camotion directly behind me. I whiped around to see a bobcat sliding toward me with his brakes locked. He then moved back 10-12 ft and started to stalk me moving towards my left, keeping a close watch on me the whole time. I stood up and he toke off running like a bat out of hell. I really believe my calling brought him in and sitting on the ground looking at my back in full camo just confused him into attacking me. I thank god that he realised I was something besides dinner as he got close or those claws may have got a little skin. He had gotten within 3 ft of me before he had gotten stoped. Was wondering if anyone else had a similiar experince?
