I really don't wanna admit it but I made a bad shot on a bobcat today. He was in some thick stuff...I say thick....chest high to him. Sagebrush,thistles...stuff like that. Anyways he started acting like he was gonna turn and burn on me. I don't like taking moving shots if I don't have to. But when I have a critter....especially a bobcat or coyote within spitting distance of the 100 yard mark and I'm in "kill mode"its rare for me to just let it walk away without at least putting some heat on it. This was one of those times. This big cat had my heart racing and I didn't want him getting away so I rushed a shot. It felt like a good idea at the time. I had myself convinced I was gonna hit fur. Instead...I don't know where I hit. I shot,the cat didn't even jump or at least I didn't see it if he did. I lost sight of him then saw his head for a split second. My question is does a bobcat usually run for his life after being hit or do they ever give you another glance at them. I looked everywhere and found no trace of him so I'am guessing I missed.
