My son, Ben, (AKA Verminator2) has called in bobcat for several people over the years but had never connected on one himself--at least before Friday. We were actually hunting a ranch that had asked us to do some coyote control.
Here's the country.
It's great looking 'cat country but we've only called coyotes here in the past.
Ben's stand.
About seven minutes into the stand I hear Ben shoot. I haven't seen anything but I hope he got his coyote. Four minutes later I hear another shot. Sweet, maybe its a double. I finally can't stand it anymore and I call the stand to see what we've got. Ben comes down the hill beaming. "Double", he says. "Dogs or 'Cats?", I reply. "Cats!"
Well killing 'cats is only half the challenge. Here's the retrieval.
Here's the hero shot.
The next stand has three coyotes coming from different directions at eight minutes. Dad misses his coyote at WAY too close. I think Ben immediately misses him again. We both spend some ammo at the retreating coyotes. Turns out Ben couldn't see the first one and was shooting another at around 250 with his first shot.
Ben's on a roll.
Part 2 is coming.
