FOUL LANGUAGE IN VIDEO> WARNING DANGER DANGER!
I went out bear hunting this evening, decided to try something new and bring along the mountain bike. I went up to a hill top I havent been to before, it looked great so I thought I would give calling a try. It was a little thick, but a little open....
I start the set and the birds all go nuts, which is not uncommmon. I continue on and about 20 min into it, a squirrel goes ape, just inside the far treeline. I have found this is often a warning something is coming in.
I grin a little bit, but keep calling....about another 5 min or so go by and I hear a branch break....or did I ...it was hard to tell if it was a branch or just a tree popping like they do when they get hot....
I keep calling on my RRCall and I swear I hear some brush move, but again, was it just me, the wind, or something...it was very faint, but lasted for a second or two....I keep calling....
about 45 mins into it....I am calling still....and then it happens...
BOOM! FOUL LANGUAGE~!!
Bobcat too close for comfortfrom directly infront of me, a flash of fur and eyes is all I catch and instinctively I point my gun, as soon as it all started, it ended! A bobcat was on the attack and launched itself right at me! It stopped literally inches from my barrel and slowly backed up as I went to grab the camera which was just to my right....it was closer than what it was in the video....needless to say, I was a bit shaken! We both started at each other with an "uh oh!" moment....and then he bolted....what a great start to bear season!
Afterwards, I thought that not many animals have lived after an initial bobcat launch attack...and not many have lived when my gun is pointed at them....truly awesome.
This is another great addition to many close animal calls I've had.
THANKS TO ANOTHER RRCALLS MOMENT!
