Calhoun County Cat - 12/06/19 02:00 AM

Shot my first bobcat a few weeks ago. Got him in the freezer until I can make it to the taxidermist!
Definitely prettiest cat I’ve ever seen in person. Big Tom 29lbs.

That's a beautiful cat.

We never see anything like that where I am and we are covered up in Bobcats.

What type of bullet and where did you hit him to keep him looking so perfect?
I shot one a few years ago with a 22-250 hollow point and he pretty much exploded.

He was sitting down I shot him right in the center of the chest right in his heart. I think it was just a cheap lead tip bullet. That’s all I use is lead tips.

Great looking cat, gorgeous. I shoot yotes all day long but can't shoot cats. They are just too pretty for me.

My 250 loves those Hornady Spire tips...basically a pointed soft point. I have shot everything from varmints to pigs to a 22" blackbuck with them. Gorgeous cat.

Re: Calhoun County Cat - 04/07/20 03:07 PM

I could be wrong (usually am) but I think that's what they call a rosette bobcat. Fairly rare color phase. Beautiful!
