I'm sure there will be some upset at this, but if hunting stuff bothers you, you shouldn't have opened the thread.
Well, this is definately a first for me. The first Bobcat I have ever seen long enough to be sure that is what I was looking at and the Triple Duece was able to get the job done on him. I wasn't anywhere near as excited after deer season as I was after getting this guy. |

No, it's my old TC contender (they've been around for years) with a 21' 222 remington barrel on it and a 3x9 Leupold scope. A REALLY sweet setup for coyotes - and the 222 has plenty of punch without tearing up the hides. BTW, the first hit was 150+ yards off-hand. ![]() |

I had just told the guy I was with a few hours before about a draw that I thought would be great for calling cats and how I would REALLY like to get a bobcat - they aren't the easiest animals to find. |

I was shopping for a heavy barrel .17 the other day, but came home with a .22 mag and a middle of the road scope. I suppose is some planeteer invites me out to whack Prairie Dogs, I'll get one of those.
I'm thinking those Thompson's are pretty cool these days....... |

The thing I love about the Contender is the versatility. I can put the pistol grip back on and one of 4 different barrels/calibers that I have (including rimfire). And they are EXTREMELY accurate. I have a 10" bull barrel in the 222 also and I have shot 5 shots in under .5 of an inch at 100 yards with it - best group of my life. |

Thanks! The particular place in question USED to have lots of quail. This year when they took me there, we found none. If there are more cats in the area (and there probably are) that could explain why the quail have dissappeared. |

Have him in the freezer right now. I have to have him tagged by a game warden, then I can sell the him to a furbearer (he comes through town on Wed). They are bringing anywhere from $80-$200 down here from what I hear. This one wieghed in at around 18 lbs so I imagine it will be closer to the lower amount. |

It would look nice in a full mount swiping at a quail.

I have had some guys mention taking it to taxidermist but I doubt I can swing the cost right now and I am sure the wife won't want it in the freezer that long. ![]() |
