First bobcat
« on: October 02, 2014, 08:57:59 AM »
Was on my way to a spot I've been working for bears, and nature called. Pulled down an old road/ trail and as I got out of the truck, I saw what I thought was a coyote about 75 yards down the trail. As I grabbed the rifle out of the back seat and loaded it, it started to head for the woods. I gave a whistle and it stopped broadside and looked at me. Yikes, it's a bobcat! Never seen one before.

Looks like a big one!  What caliber did you smack him with?

165 grain 30-06. Not ideal, but it didn't mess her up too bad. The rifle was handed down to me last year from my Dad. It's a 1947 Model 70 that he got 40-some years ago, and was going to fix it up, but it never made it to the top of his project list. It was a goal of mine to send him a picture of the finished project on a successful hunt. I never imagined it would be a cat. Dad was thrilled! Now, to get a grouse with the old Model 11...

Nice bobcat and rifle. I wish I saw more bobcats when I am out hunting, just don't seem to spot them or call them in ever.

Feet don't look big enough for lynx.

A Bobcat is a lynx    ;)

Looks like a lynx, hence, no spots and the spike fur at the end of the ears. But I've never seen one before so I'm not an expert.  Nice cat!
