I'm one of them! Cool pic. Thanks for posting it.
I've seen one, while deer hunting. It was about 120 yards away. Not 5 minutes later, 2 does went down the same trail the cat did. I found that surprising.
I saw mine while duck hunting. We were creeping up a dam to hop the pond, and she was walking across it 40 yards away from us. She stopped 5 yards from the woods and looked at us. Stood there for 3 seconds and then disappeared. We had a house in the near background so weren't able to even consider trying to shoot it.
I guess it may be my area, the fact that I am on dirt roads, or that I hunt all game but I see them regularly from the woods and the windshield. Never knew it was a rarity amongst most. Saw a pair the other day through the windshield.
I've seen a few, but never shot one. I've turned down some shots during deer season, but I won't this year! Since I hung a tag on a decent buck Monday morning, cats are 'fair game' come December 1!
I have seen a few and shot a few. I shot a 34lb male last year and had it stuffed. I like hunting cats.
Okie4570 is right. They will have a lot better hide on them in January and February. They will make a better mount without being blown open like a gallon milk jug full of water with a deer rifle.
don,post a pic or two of your deer the 13-14 hunt success thread. I'd like to see a couple more of him.
