Ok. I have attempted to predator hunt before with no success.. Ever.. So I decided to walk to my tree stand to take a doe to make a little jerky this weekend and on the way I walked up on 3 bobcats sun bathing. Well Needless to say there are now only 2 left in the group. First predator. Aren't these cats typically nocturnal?? I'm 6'2" is this a decent sized cat? Thanks for looking.

Nice cat! I have shot several at dusk and dawn but mostly see at night. You gonna have it mounted?

Looks like about a 16-18lb cat a little lighter than average but not to bad. we call up a lot of them during the day, they are easier to spot at night due to their glowing eyes but they move around quite a bit during the day. They tend to be VERY slow in coming into a call during the daylight but they will come if you are patient

bobcats and coyotes are crepuscular, meaning they are mainly out during dusk and dawn. Every cat we ever shot was in the late morning or early evening/ late afternoon. To come across a group of three means a mother cat with her two nearly grown offspring. They probably would've split up after this winter. Nice cat youi got there. You should get it mounted. Check out the cats we've mounted before. Might give you an idea for yours. Congratulation up
