Called in my first bobcat!

It's only took dozens of years.   To be fair I didn't hunt the thicker cover where they typically are.

Simple story.   Was my 4th set of the day.  Was waiting for my ride to pick me up after my 3rd set,  so put the call out 30 yds on a really overgrown skidder trail, ran cotton tail in distress for 4 min.   I see the cat peak our of the brush 70 yards away and took the shot with the 2506.  Hit broadside behind the shoulder and lost sight of it.   Walked over and found it about 5 feet back.   Then carried it back to an intersection and waited for my dad to pick me up.   Less than 4 minutes he was there.   Asked him "what's that thing laying there?"  Now looking at full body mounts.
