While calling for bears this weekend I looked over my shoulder and saw a tan "stump" between two other stumps. After calling and looking back at it a couple times, I grabbed my rifle for a closer look (was sure it was a yote).



Through the scope I realized it was a bobcat. I grabbed my camera out of my pack and snapped a couple images, then continued calling.





I don't know how long it had been watching me, but it was not coming any closer. I grabbed my range finder and ranged the stump at 100 yards exactly. After calling for a few more minutes I motioned my partner over (he was at least 150 yards beyond me). I wanted him to see the cat and continue calling while I crept for a closer picture. But the cat notced him and decided it was time to leave.



Later I walked over to that stump and it was almost waist high. We estimate this to be a tom of about 30-35 lbs.

Excellent pics!   Thats what it is all about. :rockin:

bobcat:
Really cool pictures! How much zoom do you have on your camera?

Too bad it isn't bobcat season.   :bash:

Thanks guys. It was pretty cool. Not the first kitty I have called in but it is the first I got to take pics of.

My camera is a Canon PowerShot S2 IS, 5.0 Megapixel, with 12x Optical Zoom.

It is a tad bulky for hunting (probably better for holidays and such) but it is what I have right now. I am looking at one of the smaller Canons though they don't have the higher zoom.
