wyohunter Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 it didnt start out well, my bud seen all the bucks come day light, but no shots, later we went back , he had to work, but i went out alone around noon....started out slow, nothing was moving, so i went to another part of the ranch, and man things changed fast. 30 does and fawns out in the huge hay meadow, i sat and waited to see if the stud would show up... slowly but surely a few deer came out of the woods into the meadow, a couple spikes and sporks, i sat waiting for something a tad larger to appear... then i noticed something on the edge of the cut hay... i look through the binos and 50 yards away was a bobcat... now i really want to add one of these to my wall badly, but i think, if you shoot the bobcat, the deer hunting day is over.... so i watch this cat slowly walk 30 yards in front of me, no clue i was there, finally it goes down into the creek bottom.... no the stud never showed up but 23 turkeys did, and then Mr beaver swam and chewed on some limbs.... coyotes howling in the distance,a hoot owl calling out to the night,man... just a great day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 it sounds like a great day, dan. i'm pretty much a bird in the hand guy, and i'd have shot the cat. you said you always wanted one, and deer are 10 times easier to find than a good cat. i'm glad you had a good day.

wyohunter Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 i was afraid of what a 180 gr bullet out of my 300 win mag would do to it...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Sounds like a really great opening day. A little of everything. I like that discription "spikes and sporks". I'm guessing a spork is just a bit bigger than a spiker, but not near being a shooter for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyohunter Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 spork = spike on one side, a fork on the other ...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'll have to remember that one. We've got a couple of sporks running around down where I hunt this year. I've never called them that before, but I will from now on ...LOL:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
