I am a lifelong (40 plus years) predator hunter with countless coyotes, foxes, raccoons and other critters to his credit. Rub is I've never bagged a bobcat, and not from lack of trying. I live in Arkansas and have called all over the northwest third of the state, but to the best of my knowledge no bobcat has ever responded to my efforts. So I'm looking for tips other hunters may have.
I've read a decent bit about pursuing the bobcat. So I know about its notorious slow response time. Most sources say to wait at least 30, and sometimes even 45, minutes when one is after the critter. I've been doing that. In addition, I have a couple of Foxpro callers and I've tried a plethora of sounds, volumes and times of day, but still nothing. What's more, I have access to many areas, and a couple are even places where I've seen bobcats (just never while hunting).
So what wisdom might my fellow varmint hunters be willing to share?
