I killed a bobcat last week sniffing my front atv tire. I think the cow manure drew him in.

I'll try and get some pics of it up tomorrow. Mushroomed so pretty looked like it was molded that way.

Great story about dropping the buck right by the ATV, you can't make this stuff up!
I also appreciate the pics and performance reports about the Barnes bullets. I saw them in a store earlier this year and considered trying them. I'll have to pick some up now and play with them.

I can now add one to the list of reports on the effectiveness of Barnes ML bullets. Killed a doe yesterday from 135 yards out; Ray Charles could have followed the blood trail, and she went about ten feet before expiring. I really don't see why anyone uses anything other than copper monolithics, either in MLs or centerfire firearms, anymore.
