no. one shot, he was stanging at a weird angle, either exit and re entered or the bullet kind of swam in him? no sure it waas a night hunt. i dont know much about cat hunting myself, im fairly new and will call this luck hahaha!

Nice. I was chukar hunting and saw tons of cat poo. I found a new spot for night calling...

[zippy1970]

Luck at times can be GREAT ! And all of my tags were unpunched last year . Only got 1 tag this year . Hopefully I will need to buy more .

Dave , what does Cat scat look like ? I have seen prints but not poop .

That is a nice cat! Congratulations!!!

Congrats on your first cat, but you need to give us some details, like what sound you were using and how long it took to come in, rifle and caliber. Tell us a story.

[Frank]

Well, that didn't take long. And Congrats on slaying a nice looking cat. Other than that, the foxpro doesn't work, eh? lol

well i gave my hunting buddy a call and let him know my call had finally come in, we agreed to hunt a spot where we had previously seen some pretty big cats but where un able to shoot them because it wasn't season yet. Around 8:30PM were driving down the road we like to hunt and know there are lots of cats. About a quarter mile before we got to the spot we have spotted them at, a large bobcat ran across the road about 10 feet in front of the car! My bud said we should hide the car and setup, i didn't really agree as i thought he would be way too spooked to come in but my friend convinced me anyway LOL. we setup the wildfire about 60 yards away from us and we setup in front of a bush. I noticed the winds werent very high so i went ahead and used the baybee cottontail foxpro call on around volume 7 for about 2 minutes then muted it, scanned around with the spotlight....nothing... called again for about 5 minutes, muted, scanned around....Sure enough about 400 yards or so away we see a nice set of glowing eyes running in. Finally called it in to about 120 yards where it did not seem to want to come in any further. I went a head and squeaked him in another 40 yards or so squeaking using my lips, finally i got a clear view of him as he looked right at us and thought i better hurry up and take the shot, looked through my scope, got a clear look and sent a 223. n dropped him. When we went to pick him up i was very surprised at its size! im 5'10 and as you can see in the picture the cat isn't too much smaller than me. I was very stoked to get a bobcat on my first trip with the new wildfire foxpro call, cant wait to go out again, and hopefully use more of my bobcat tags! sorry about my poor grammar lol

LOL the foxpro worked great!

[jawbreaker]

good job on the bobcat. You might want to keep that caller withing 5 to 10 yards of you when hunting at night, you will be able to see eyes better when they are heading right for you and not the caller that's 60 yards away.
Kep up the good work,
Ron

[alexgee926]

i agree with you, i think ill only be keeping the call that far when day hunting.

[CoyoteHuntress]

GRATS!! What an awesome hunt!

Looks just like domestic cat poop in a litter box. Cat poop is cat poop. Same goes for Mt.Lion poop, just way bigger. I found 5 "Litter boxes" while chukar hunting where the cat backed it up under a rock or between 2 rocks and crapped in there a whole bunch. Was partially covered with brush too. I'm talking a lot of poop in 1 spot, was funny to see.

Only with a LOT more hair in it usually

[tawnoper]

Cool. Nice looking gato. And Jawbreaker is right, keep the call next to you at night. You want them looking at you; makes it much easier to see them eyes.
