Title: Makes me mad....
Post by: champ41 on January 20, 2011, 02:08:32 PM: So i was driving to basketball practice around 10 o clock on Monday morning. I had my .22 marlin with me because me and a friend were going to do some crow hunting after practice.. anyways on the way over to practice i saw a smaller animal cross the road in front of me and i thought it was a coyote.. So i was like alright cool maybe i can get a shot... It ran in right next to a logging road so i pulled in, shut the truck off and walked down the road about 200 yard .22 in had. I stop and look to my right and about 20 yards in the timber there it is! I put my scope on it and thought to my self that's not a coyote.. that's a bobcat! just as i was about to pull the trigger the damn thing ran off.. never saw it again.. :bash: Close call on the way to practice... it would of been my first bobcat! It was pretty exciting though! I just thought I would share with you all.

If that is school BB practice, better hide that rifle good under the seat.
Back when I was in school we didn't have to bother, they were fine.
Hope you get the cat next time.

I also shadow what quadrafire said on the school deal. Be carefull with this subject. There has been a lot of good kids. Get into huge trouble when it comes to firearms on school ground. If it was a school practice. Make sure you park some where else and walk to the school so you are not on school grounds. Would hate to see you get introuble over it.

I wish I could say I was just calling them in for fun. I had one that came in out of season. I just suck.

Kain,

What call were you using ? I've got a Spitefire and was wondering if you used that. All I have is the stock calls that came with it. Plus 30 mouth calls + -.

Location is more important than sound IMO but here is the one I almost always use.
