CA Bobcat (pic)

[BOHNTR]

LAST EDITED ON Nov-28-10 AT 07:49AM (MST)[p]I spent the week camping with my wife & kids up in the Sierras photographing deer and having Thanksgiving dinner in the trailer. Brought the bow and call along for some mid-day calling with the hopes of FINALLY arrowing one here in California. Well, after MANY years of trying I finally managed to call a bobcat into bow range here in California. When the cat came in looking for lunch at 21 yards, I was able to make a place a perfect shot on the feline.

I was pumped to say the least.....of all the critters I've taken with a bow and arrow, this was my first bobcat. Hope you enjoy and have a great holiday season.

Way to go Roy! Getting your bow back on that jittery critter must have been very interesting.

Nice job. That's a trophy for sure.

I took a coyote with a bow a few years ago and it's one of my finest trophies...

Nice job Roy. I have had a few within bow range but have yet to actually get off a shot.

Awesome job BOHNTR. Thats one on the top of my to get list. I have had them come under my tree stands and as their walking away I try to pull the bow back but they catch me every time! It's like a 6th sense with these cats. Best I've done so far is give one a haircut. That's one heck of a bow trophy you got there.

Roy-

You're my hero bro! That's awesome. Great accomplishment to the master archer. Handsome coat on him too! Full body mount?

 

[BOHNTR]

Thanks guys.....I was more excited with this cat than I have been with the last few bucks I've arrowed.

Full body mount for sure......dropped him off at the Taxidermist shop today!

What a feline trophy.

I echo the 6th sense. I had one come into a treestand and before I could even move, it looked straight into my eyes. Instantly he knew I wasn't right...

He back pedaled out as smooth as he had slipped in.

That is one heck of an accomplishment.

[Blacktailslayer]

congrats on your accomplishment...hard little chits to get with a bow.

Did you use a decoy? That helps alot with keeping them from seeing your movement.
