The only photos I get of him are ones with only four arras in his five arrow quiver.

He's been waiting 35 years for this kill so..... a BIG CONGRATULATIONS.

He will be along shortly with the story.

As soon as he gets back from the Taxidermy shop.

Such fun we have in these Florida woods.

Congrats, Bill!

Too cool!  

Congrats on the awesome harvest.

I guess the real question is did you get it on film?

[Warden609]

Wow!! I have always wanted to shoot a bobcat. Maybe one day. Congrats Bill!

[T-Bowhunter]

Beautiful Cat!

[bill langer]

Thanks folks!
Darnit no, it's not on film. One of the very rare if not only time I've taken an animal off film since I started filming. I let a lot!
I'm telling you ALOT of critters walk because they are not on film. Same commitment trad bow hunting demands! I'm committed to share the adventure. This time I simply reacted. If I had tried to film I think the ending would have been different on this one, and that would have been ok too!

That is awesome Bill.  I wouldn't have got too caught up in trying to get that one on film.  Not to many opportunities on putty cats.  Congrat's.

[M Beach]

that is a great cat!!

[KentuckyTJ]

Super cool congrats Brother!

[drewsbow]

[CoachBGriff]

Absolutely!  No shame in ensuring the shot happened on one like that!

Congrats again on a beautiful animal.

[charles m]

[elkken]

[KyRidgeRunner]

[Stump73]

Congratulations! That nice cat. Bobcats are on my bucket list.

Bill and I have been friends ever since I met him oh so many years ago in Indiantown Florida on my first ever hog bow hunt.

He and his Father, Dick, helped me skin it and prepare the meat, when I did not have a clue.

I have never forgotten their kindness, and have always attempted to help them when I can.

We have shared many a hog hunt since.

Bill and his friend Tom have helped me by building up a lot of my good hunt sites.

After this harvest, my debt might be repaid.

Yesterday morning, we briefly discussed our hunt options for the day, and just as easily could have chosen 9 of my other properties for Tuesday night's hunt.

It's great that fate chose the Dead Horse Ranch.

As many hours as he puts on stand every time he hunts with me....he deserves this trophy.

Very cool!

Congratulations, Bill.

Could not happen to a more deserving guy.
