Killed my first bobcat!
« on: December 04, 2015, 07:42:43 AM »
Took a friend deer hunting last weekend and was lucky enough to come across this guy. Had to bail into some timber to track him down but luckily he held up.

Awesome! Cograts.  My cats are some of my favorite trophies.

Pretty kitty!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Have only seen one once while hunting and didn't know at the time I could have taken it. Then saw a black bear about 15 minutes later, same story. Back in my teens just starting hunting when I didn't even think about bear or cats.

Saweet! Congrats.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.
