There are not enough in Weddington to try to up the odds. Pure luck only. They are fairly nomadic and hard to pattern. Living here (my property adjoins Wed) and hunting for over a decade in these woods I have seen 3.

 

I have also not seen enough in Weddington to devote hunting to it, more of just a luck thing. I do know where this is one bobcat, there are more, as they are cat litters, but usually only one or two dominant males prowling the area with the numerous females. Your best bet is probably setting up in that same spot and staying very still though.

 

I killed a bobcat this past Saturday afternoon. I had seen a bobcat (probably the same one) a week earlier out of the same stand, but didn't get a shot the first time. I don't know if I was just lucky to see him twice out of the same stand or not, but it happened for me!

 

I'm out for bobcat on Wednesday! If I see a deer, that'd be great too!

 

We normally see them on the edge of hardwood/thickets. I watched one sneak up and catch a squirrel on my feeder, then I shot him. It was so old his teeth were worn and one was chipped off.

 

Yeah, this guy was in a deep creek bottom filled with thick stuff. No way I could have walked through. I set up in a tall tree right on the edge of the bottom where the thick stuff just started. He walked right along the edge right under my tree.

I want to get this guy!

 

Bring you a predator call, squealing rabbit ought to bring him in but if your dead set on a bobcat. Bring a 22 and have at least $600.00 saved up. They arent cheap to Mount!!!

Ouch!

 

You can freeze it and then get it done, or usually the taxi will work with you. Maybe charge part now, the rest when its done in a few months, they know people don't always have $600 on hand.

 

I can't take a 22 where I hunt. Its archery only or shotgun with shot no larger than T.

I am tempted to take my shotgun if I see him in the thick stuff and can't get a shot with my bow, but at the same time I'm worried about messing him up so badly that I can't get a good mount done.

What do y'all think? I've got a call and I've got a stuffed rabbit I am going to have bouncing around in the leaves (tied with fishing line to a limb above) to get him curious enough to come in. I'm thinking bow...

 

A shotgun rarely messes up the fur. Ive shot several with T shot with no damage.

Killed two with a bow and one with a gun actually let one walk one time - stick to the bow and forget about him - til he shows up then let him have it . If you really want him there is a guy on the trapping thread goes by fisherman - dude catches more cats in traps than you can shake a stick at

 

There is a taxi in prairie grove that charges $350 for cats hawg country taxidermy.

 

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'm going to bring my gun.

Thanks for the tip on the taxi nate!

I'll keep yall updated.
