While out on a recent trip to south Texas, bowhunting hogs and javelina, I got a bobcat with my stickbow. I don't do much predator hunting but didn't want to let the chance pass. I tucked into the tall grass and squeaked out a predator call with my mouth and hand. After a short wait a big tom bobcat appeared crouched in the grass just 10 yards away. A few more quiet squeals like a rodent and the wild cat crouched and stalked closer. He turned to walk away and I drew my fire hardened hickory selfbow, squeaked once to stop him, and let the arrow fly. When I started the day, a bobcat catch and cook was the last thing on my mind. But with the cat on the ground I figured I'd give it a try. I've cooked and eaten mountain lion which is fantastic but I'd never had bobcat. I skinned it out and turned it over to Liz. You can see the full cooking video over on her channel.
