Bobcats can be frustrating critters. They'll come to a call, and then sometimes play peek-a-boo from behind a rock or bush. Other times, they'll come right in.
If all goes well, odds are for a shot in the 20- to 40-yard vicinity.
I met one pelt-hunter who was skilled at squeaking them in pretty close, who used a .22 Maggie rimfire.
Round numbers a mature bobcat is around 30 to 35 pounds.
