standman Report post Posted November 23, 2005 Yesterday I had a good evening varmit calling. On my first stand I was calling a canyon about 50 yards from the edge. I was using a woodpecker sound with a woodpecker decoy. After calling about seven minutes off a little to my right I caught movement about 35 yards out. It was a bobcat. It was fixated on the decoy and he was doing that little kitty cat sneak on him. At twenty five yards he stopped head on. I slowly eased my shotgun up, put the bead on him and dropped him in his tracks. He is my first cat of the year. He is a big, beautiful tom. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

standman Report post Posted November 23, 2005 BowhuntCoues, Yeah I killed him in the Pinetop-Lakeside area. I am going to sell this one. I already have several tanned so I am going sell him. If I get one with my bow, which I am going to start trying to do, I am going to mount him. Been a pretty good year this year so far, quite a few coyotes and foxes too. Thanks Brian.
