It is addictive.

I told you I would take you but I have to wait for the right day as you didn't want to go when it was hot, raining, or to cold .

I hunt hard all the time during bobcat season and I may only kill 1 to 5 each year. Bobcats are sneaking little kitties and hard to kill. Some people may not have a problem killing them all the time but I hunt lots of places and to me they are tough to hunt. If you have ever watched a cat try to sneak up on a bird or whatever then thats how they act also. They get as low to the ground as they can and are very quiet and sneaky. Thats why I like to hunt them in the woods they feel more comfortable in thier area that they know and they also know they can move from one cover to the next makes them feel more secure. If you hunt in a field they are more likely not to go out in the open as they will feel uncomfortable. This also goes for coyote hunting as well. Next time i'm on my land I will take a picture of one of the dens thats on my property.

Most bobcats I have killed where close to water. As far as dens go they can dig a hole in the ground to yes rock ledges that have openings in them. I would invest in a decoy not only will it lure them in but it takes the focus off of you and onto the decoy. I use a mojo critter and love it. Also when I hunt bobcats I hunt them in the woods near thick brush and if possible close to water. I killed one back in february on my land and I was hunting over a spring and a clearcut that had grown over.

You need to find the area of their den and hunt close to it. I use a cottontail distress for calling them in. Another thing is bobcats are not like coyotes. They just don't run out to the call they will hang back in the edge of the woods. You may have called one in but you are not seeing it. The last one I killed stayed about 5 yards in the wood line and never came out. I would have never seen her if she hadn't of jumped on the log. She just sat on the log and watched my decoy. I think the most important thing is to hunt real close to their den. Remember bobcat season is closed. Opens back up on November 20th 2010 and closes February 28th 2011 and the limit is 1 per day.

Welcome!

Looks real nice.

They wouldn't know it but i'd hire them as a free clean up crew.

I wish we all would get picked

The wind has picked up a bit but no rain so far.

Yes archery is legal. Keep this in mind It is unlawful to hunt, shoot at, chase, or kill any wild animal, wild bird, or wildfowl on public lands and waters within 100 yards of a visible dwelling house, whether or not such a dwelling is on public or private lands, without the owner's permission.

I use 3 inch winchester #5's they have a great pattern at 25 yards and I was putting around 15 pellets in the kill zone at 50 yards. I am using the stock extra full choke for turkeys.

Not so much UFO's but as big as the galaxy is I think there is other life forms.

I hope I never find a crime seen while hunting or camping.

Just think of all those perverts that just followed them around........

Welcome!

HA HA this is so true.

Nice thunder chicken!

I told you it has been a long time. I need to get me a turkey but hog hunting sounds like a plan as well.

I haven't hog hunted in years but I thought it was only open year round on private land.
