Got to have another wonderful half day hunting again Sunday. My best friend got me into calling 3 years ago and then moved away so I don't get to go with him much anymore but another good friend was there to keep me at it. This time I got to go with both of them and one of their fathers. I didn't take my daughter today as the snow would have slowed her way down. We went out to a place where I have 2 sections that I can hunt and we have left them alone so far this season. We parked and began getting ready and the first guy out of the truck looked behind us about 200 yards to see a big bobcat cross the road and disappear into the brush. We set up and called with no luck of him coming back to us. We gave up and went on in to call some more but didn't have any luck saw one coming in after we gave up on our first set but it got away too. Made some more sets with nothing to show for it except some taunting from our adversaries in form of a serenade. After that we picked up our ball and left. Drove around a little and had time for one more set, so we went back to the same spot where my daughter and I had luck earlier in the year. Sat down and it looked like it was going to be a bust when another female decided to temp fate. We used hand calls this time and it worked like a charm. She was going to try to circle all the way around us and get down wind but I didn't let her. 144 yards out and she stopped, for good. I feel extremely lucky to have such friends to be able do this stuff with. We are only in our 30's but I appreciate it like it was my last hunt. This is more fun to me than any other hunting. I also can't say enough about the gun I chose for this. Tikka T3 in 22-250 shooting the 50 Vmax at 3640fps 4.5-14 VX3 with CDS turret that go out to 650+ which is more than enough for this bullet. It is a deadly combination for anything that comes to the call.
