My callin partner and myself went out this evening with every intention of night hunting,,, we had the permit and everything,,, we also had 30 mph winds.
I decided we needed to go early and hit a few spots we hadn't called this year before it got dark. Started out about 3:00 and called in a nice red colored coyote, he hung up about 300 yrds out, a shot from my buddies 22-250 sent him into the death spin only to have it jump back up and run off,,, 45 minutes of tracking and we only found blood,,, no yote.
Moved to a spot where we had the permit, (yes you have to tell the Warden EXACTLY where you are going to be) Set up on a pipeline with the the Foxpro out 20 yrd in front of us and let her rip,,,, 20 minutes in I see a bobcat cross the opening, I whispered "there's a cat" not 2 minutes later a second one is bearing down on the caller. He came from probably 300 yrds down the pipeline, I got to watch him the whole way. Since we were actually prepared for night hunting, we both had our shotguns out, he got about 30 yrds from me and I nailed him with a three and a half inch #6 Turkey Mag,,, dang those things can kick.
Weighed in at 19 lbs,,, shot hit him square in the shoulder (as you can see) but no real pelt damage :grin: (just a little blood ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
)
That would be #3 for the season.

Good deal, coffee. Nice cat. That's the strangest pattern I have ever seen on a bobcat?
Good hunting. LB

Congratulations, Jason. I've never seen the tiny dot pattern up to the top of the back before either.

He is definitly different than any other cat I've ever called,,,, with the small spots I didn't think he was that pretty,,, that shows how much I know,,LOL
