Congratulations that's a rare trophy with a bow. :thumbsup: Cat meat is very good eating by the way. :saywhat:

Congratulations. A bobcat is a very rare stick-bow trophy.

Had a great opportunity for a bobcat early in November but unfortunately the season did not come in until December 1. Had to pass on a 5 yard shot. One animal I've always wanted to take with my bow. Congrats on your success and thanks for sharing. I'm jealous. :campfire:

Beautiful cat.  And yes, they are elusive. They get a pass at my place for some of the same reasons that you mention.  Their numbers are low enough that they aren't frequently seen, and the hogs, coons, and coyotes are a much bigger problem.  Had this one at 7 yards last weekend, bow in hand, but it was 40 by the time I got my phone sorted out.

Thank you gentlemen....

The coveted opportunity was purely a surprise gift.

The bobcat will be honored with a very nice mount. He is already with my trusted and skilled taxidermist who has mounted over a 100 bobcats. Moved into a new home on the farm in September.The bobcat will be the 1st addition to the greatroom which is reserved for harvested quarry from the farm.

Congratulations, great shooting!
I almost got a shot at one last weekend.
He was slipping through about 50 yds away. I started lip squeaking at him, and he turned towards me.
He got within 30 yds and locked up. I guess he realized the squeak was coming from 20 ft up a tree and lost interest.

dear gawd it looks like a hatchet wound!!!    that's a tough one to beat though I've been in the woods for 41yrs and I've yet to see a single bobcat,,, saw a porcupine once and saw a albino coyote once but still trying to spot a bobcat before my time here is done...
