I shot at a bobcat while tree stand hunting for whitetail deer, mainly because I wanted the pelt.
A bit off topic, but… on the same property I saw a bobcat swim across a small river. Me and a friend had been bow hunting that morning and we’re back in camp eating lunch. Our camp was above a rocky, low water stretch and the cat appeared opposite of us. It started to make for the rocks but turned around when it saw us. It then appeared up river about 100 yards and then swam across a deep section of river.
