Last night Clint (Huntin Dog) took me on my first bobcat hunt. The land we hunted was in Celeste, TX in Hunt County (just north of Greenville). After about 20 minutes of calling, we saw eyes to our left at 100+ yards in the tree line. Several minutes passed by and we saw him again directly in front of us at 120 yards. He circled in to 35 yards to the right of us and creeped out from the woods. I shot him w/ my savage .308 from the standing position using a monopod. Clint did a great job calling this big boy in for me. He weighed in at 25.2 lbs. We both thought his coat looked great and I can't wait to get him back from the taxidermist. Here are the pics and video after the shot.

COOL CAT! Tell Clint to call me 1 in.

that is one pretty cat!

Congrats to both of you! Nice kitty

good going, a really nice Cat!

Good lookin cat.... Nice job... Thats a biggun.

That cat has a very nice fur.

what load were you using in .308? doesnt look like it caused alot of damage that you would normally see for a bigger caliber.

i'm using Winchester Super-X 150gr factory ammo. it really did a nice job of dropping the cat while keeping it all in one piece.

sweet!

I added his weight to the first post, 25.2 lbs.

Man thats an Awesome kitty !!

Love how your holding it like its a little house cat !!

Nice & spotty, congrats!

Very nice cat!

nice kitty cat

Very nice cat. How are you having the taxidermist mount it. I have one that is laying on a log and it looks great.

that is a very good question, i have no clue. i'm thinking a wall mount since i have a dog that would like to chew on it. my girlfriend suggested having it mounted laying on its back playing with a ball of yarn

anybody have any suggestion on a mount?

nice cat, good job

great looking cat, looks bigger than 25 to me

i've had several people say that. i weighed him on my digital home scale. i got the same weight both times but i guess it could have been off a bit.

very jealous!!!!!!!!

Good job!! Nice cat

Go and kill a field mouse and have them mounted together...have the cat pouncing on the mouse. Very cool!

I thought I saw a putty tat, I did, I did see a putty tat. LOL Nice cat.

Great Job !!!!! That is a very nice cat... Good luck on getting many more Barnez!!!
