Post subject: | Big cats? |
This past Thursday I was able to get out and hunt after being promoted and now working M-F. I got to spot #2 as someone was parked at spot #1. I walked in taking in the sounds and the cool air. As I walked along the old access road, I heard a lone gobble. It was about 6am. I work my way a little further up and sit down. Wait a few and call...2 gobbles! ![]() I move on to to spot #3. Sit and call for about an hour...nothing happening. So I decide to walk the field edge. As I near the end of the field, I stop and call. I catch movement off in the woods. I freeze and watch...it's a cat...a BIG cat! Bigger than a bobcat and had a long tail. I want to get a pic but I know my smartphone just won't get the photo I want, then it dawns on me that I might want to unshoulder my shotgun just in case. Anyway...I was slightly freaked out by now. I know what I saw and it wasn't a large house (ferel) cat nor was it a bobcat. Really wish I could have got a pic of it! |

If you go back to that spot I would keep an extra eye out while calling. |

what color was the cat? I had an encounter with a big cat last fall while bowhunting...ran down a ridge in front of my treestand and stopped at 40 yards and took off again. This was a very big cat that was tan in color with a long round tail. |

Yep, no wolves or elk there either. I bet DNR is putting them in there. Vic |
