Is it just me, or have you guys been seeing a lot of bobcats this past couple of years? I hunted four different properties last week at night around the Sweetwater area and have called in ten different bobcats; killed six. The ironic thing is, we have only called in two coyotes. We are now starting to pass up on cats and wait for coyotes to come in; it used to be the opposite.

What has the drought done to the area?

Maybe you can see 'em better, cuz there ain't no grass, & brush for 'em to hind in?

Maybe the drought has out look'n for food more?

Just a couple of suggestions,

Maybe looking for more food, however seeing eyes in tall grass and brush at night has never been a problem. It does make a ton a difference in the day though.

Congrats, wish I had that "problem".

Mark, I went out to Sweetwater calling about a month ago and called in a ton of animals. We called probably 10 cats and 20 or so coyotes. A lot of the cats we called were in pairs and on one call had 3 come in. I will be coming out that direction the first weekend of March for the last Graham hunt of the year! But to answer your question about more cats this year, yes, I personally have called a lot more cats in this year than in the past few.

if its any of my business, what are you using to be so successful in your cat calling? just currious.

Jack rabbit and cottontail mouth calls.
Woodpecker electronic call; which is the greatest of all time!

Exactly what Mark said. I just got back from a place just outside of town made one call with my mouthcall and got a cat!

Me and my 3 other hunting buddies killed some cats during one of the graham hunts. I think 1 of them put some pics on the new forum thats up now www.texasvarminthunter.com that was a good night.We called them with cottontail duet tape by Burnham Bros.

I saw your cats on the varmint hunters forum, those were some big'uns.
