Title: My lucky day shed hunting(Bobcat Pics) More picks added shed hunt success!!
Post by: K.S.TRAPPER on February 25, 2010, 07:19:00 PM
We finally got a break from all the snow and ice that's hitting us week after week so I thought I would see if I could locate some gobblers for the spring season and maybe find a few sheds while I was at it.

I was in to the turkeys pretty quick but couldn't get close enough for some really good pics.

    (http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/Boone%20and%20Crocket%20sheds/turkey1.jpg)

I was working my way down a hedge row and watching for trails crossing the fence hoping there would be a shed or two.

    (http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/Boone%20and%20Crocket%20sheds/shedhunt.jpg)

I saw a few deer jump up ahead of me and take off so I stopped and tryed to get a pic but they were to fast. I couldn't help but notice the size and how strait some of these Osages trees were and how I needed to harvest some of them for bow wood.

    (http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/Boone%20and%20Crocket%20sheds/bobcattree1.jpg)

Take a closer look at the first big tree half way up.

Even closer!!

That is awesome, glad to see I am not the only one neck deep in turkeys, too bad I havent seen any where I actually hunt, lol.  

That cat is awesome, I didnt even notice it at first, that is funny that you just happened to look up.  Sweet photo's, keep em coming

Now, What are the odds of walking down a half mile long hedge row on crunchy snow and ice and stopping at a certain spot looking up and seeing this. I would say that it was pure luck!!

 (http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/Boone%20and%20Crocket%20sheds/bobcat.jpg)

That was my first view when I looked up. I'm sure glad I had the camera.

Makes me wonder how many times while squirrel hunting while lookin up in trees did I not see one, lol.  I have seen one before, but it disapeared, now I know.  I dont know why it never occured to me that they can climb trees.  I have read that gray foxes can too!

Great pictures Tracy. There are more Bobcats around here than ever. Haven't gotten one to pose like that for Me yet.

Saw a good flock of birds out by the Historic marker there on 56 highway Sunday. Daughter played a Volleyball tournament at Baker.

Like You I've been wanting to go look for some sheds also. Weather has sucked though. Supposed to be above freezing for a couple of days so I might venture out. Take care.

I live a mile south of that marker Brett I need to get you my cell #.   :wavey:  

Your right it's been hard getting out and looking with this bad weather. The turkey's are strutting though I will try to get some pics.

We have no shortage of cats around here either and see them every year from are tree stands but I have a heck of a time getting them on my trail cameras's.

Dav, I was using a Cannon s5is digital it comes with a 12x zoom. I have some extra lenses but I wasn't using any of them. Love this camera

I had a friend that found some kittens once in a old log while mushroom hunting, We went back to get one but she had moved them already.

Been doing a little shed hunting myself and while searching a patch of timber I woke up the locals..Thought I would share..

I agree Bill and thats a great picture also    :bigsmyl:    

I had a little time to get out today and checked one of my favorite valleys that I have found sheds in before with some south facing slopes with no snow on them.

  (http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/Boone%20and%20Crocket%20sheds/shedhunting.jpg)

North facing, Try finding a white shed on that hill.

  (http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/Boone%20and%20Crocket%20sheds/shedhunting4.jpg)

Lets go back and take a closer look at the first photo.... See what I see?

  (http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/Boone%20and%20Crocket%20sheds/shedhunting1.jpg)

Not to bad a shape for being a year old and not a fresh shed.

  (http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/Boone%20and%20Crocket%20sheds/shedhunting3.jpg)

I know this rack!! And have trail cam photo's of him too.

Picks of him in velvet.

   (http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/Boone%20and%20Crocket%20sheds/shedhunting6.jpg)

Picks later in the season during the rut.

 (http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/Boone%20and%20Crocket%20sheds/shedhunting7.jpg)

And this last season during the rut working a scrape. He's a short legged stocky buck and made it through another season. I can't wait to see him again this fall.

Bobcat in a tree, found shed, AND just happen to have trail cam pics of the previous owner. Have you ever seen him on the hoof?

Great pics to say the least. Thanks for taking your camera and taking the time to post them here for us to enjoy.
