Had a really interesting hunt 11/23 at the lease.
Started the evening looking for a sounder to come to the feeder, but that failed - no hogs.
-
Instead of hogs, I started hearing what sounded like two house cats yowling at each other..
If you have heard two pissed off tomcats before a fight, then you know what that sounds like.
Now - turn up the volume times 20, and that is what was going on about 90 yards down in the creek bottom below my stand.
The cats screaming went on over 45 minutes - almost non-stop. I turned on my video camera in the dark and recorded about 15 minutes of the cats pre fight noise.
Try as I might, I was not able to see the cats in the creek bottom with either my Pulsar thermal scanner, or Trijicon Mk3 35mm scope.
After the noise stopped, I continued scanning and finally had a large bobcat come up out of the creek to level ground. I had watched two bobcats here the previous night, and would only catch short 2 to 3 seconds glimpses through tree cover before disappearing - so no time to screw around.
Bobcat stopped in the open, safety off, trigger squeeze and drilled the bobcat with my A-R-Performance TAC 30 (30 Herrett). Failed to activate my DVR - dammit.
-
Taxidermist measured my bobcat at 38" from nose to base of tail. Getting this badboy full body mount, left descending pose on a wall rock(fiberglass).

Nice Robert-Kitty in full bloom! In the end... I guess we know WHO won that squabble for territory. Now, go back and claim it for yourself with the other one to go on the wall facing this one. Good chootin'.

I wish. No weight scale in that range in camp.
Four of us lifted the cat and weight estimates were - 30, 35, 35, and 37 lbs.
