First bobcat!! Amazing
I've spent some long hard days out for a cat, up and over mountains and thru swamps all throughout western and central mass. Countless dry stands. Turns out my first one comes completely unexpectedly on a stand loaded with coyote & rabbit tracks before I even got the shockwave fired up.
The area has more than 48" of snow so its been tough going, snowshoes required. We just had the first warm day in awhile sunday which packed the snow a little and froze the top over enough to make their travel a little easier. You could see where the yotes were traveling on top and would fall thru maybe every fifth step.
Just arriving on stand I spotted this cat 60 yards off running away from me thru the brush, he must have spotted me. Learning from prior mistakes, I had my gun up and was ready. First load of hevi-shot rolled him and then I let out a few more for good measure considering how far away he was...very impressive results. Chalk another one up for the versa-max.
Nice tom, couldn't be happier!
