I had been out calling in very light snow and 27 degrees for about 3 hours and had not seen or heard a thing. I took a little snack break and decided id try two more stands. I got out of the truck and started walking up a slight embankment where I knew there was a nice valley on the other side that I could call.

I had my scanning headlight on and scanning as I walked.. and I saw eyes about 75 yards to my left. I could tell it was a cat right away by the way it moved. She kept walking closer to me and I had to walk closer to her so I could maintain visual as she was walking down into a wash between us. I gave her a lip smack sound and she stopped long enough for me to kneel down with my bi-pod and let her have it. I could see it was a good hit.

She weighs about 18 pounds. So happy to finally get this notch under my belt!

I will never forget my first cat. It was 1981 and 20 below zero f I had seen fresh tracks and had no response there so I went a mile down the valley the way she was going and walked in a half mile to the edge of a cedar swamp. after calling for 15 min. I was freezing and my lips were so froze I had to hold my lips around the call with my hand or the air would leak out around the call. I got up to leave and walked about 15 yards and chewed myself out for being such a wimp and knowing cats take their time coming in. I went back and sat down and after another 5 plus min. of calling there she came. I shot her with a 12 gauge shot gun. 25 1\2 lbs. I was on top of the world.
 
CONGRATS on your first bobcat. Well done on the lip squeak. The first one is a thrill as well as every one after, at least for me.
 

I spent many years of my life hoping for a bobcat, placing them at the top of my trophy list. I remember well my first one, called to within 20 yards of me with a Johnny Stewart rabbit sound. I took the cat with a shotgun. It was a small cat. Since then I have taken several more, the largest being 31 pounds, but the memories of the first one remains special.

Congratulations on your beautiful bobcat.
