CWpredator Report post Posted January 8, 2013 Yesterday was a very slow day deer hunting for me and my partner. We started the morning off with only finding 3 deer by 11:00am. No bucks anywhere so we packed up our gear and hiked back to the truck. We ended up driving about an hour away to a spot where I had been seeing good bucks the prior week. We end up getting there and hike to my glassing spot. We set up and glass for 2 hours without seeing any deer. I was starting to get pretty discouraged. About 430 rolls around and I finally glass up 1 solo doe. Then about 10 minutes later I glass up a nice big bobcat walking a ridge about 700 yards away. I decide to go after the bobcat since we are not seeing any deer movement at all. I close the gap to about 200 yards then relocate the cat. So I keep moving in. I end up getting to 46 yards from it and it spots me. So I stop and have a staring contest with it for about 5 minutes. I wait until it looks the other way and draw my bow. I let the arrow fly. Perfect double lung shot and the bobcat runs and crashes about 25 yards away. This is my first bobcat with a bow and to do it spot and stalk to say the least I was extremely excited. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
