Bob came to see me.

Muzzle loader season here in IL, where it is legal to use an electronic caller for deer. So I'm in the ground blind pretend to be a wounded fawn. (I've had big deer come to that call before.) No deer show up, but a hawk sits in the tree above and screams it's head off. Then a bit later I look out one of the blind's side windows and see Bob. Look to the left in the pic below for a light gray area.
Life is good.

I once had a coyote come looking for the lonely turkey hen I was pretending to be.

I wouldn't deliberately pick 2 oz of #4 lead shot as a coyote load, but sometimes you have to make do.

no bobcats, but.....

I've had coyotes come to turkey calling on multiple occassions. I also have had a hawk roll my hen turkey decoy......two separate occassions. My most interesting bobcat story was last bow season, Oct'19. In broad daylight, mid-morning, I saw a mama bobcat and two kits (?), about house cat size.
