I once set up and started calling, starting out with a lone howl, I repeated this in 5 minutes waited 5 more and went into a rabbit distress. I scaned slowly around and saw a bobcat in the 10lb catagory 80 yards looking at me. I dont know how tuff he thought he was, but I know how tuff he would need to be to steal a rabbit from one of these big eastern coyotes. I let this cat walk do to size and a one cat limit in lower Michigan. This took place in January with a heavy snow falling, little to no wind at 2:00 in the afternoon. I have never before or since called a cat with howling involved, and almost always hunt in good cat areas. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
