    Muzzleloader bobcat

    Just acquired this Traditions 50 cal MZ from another TBH member & decided to target shoot it this afternoon & then pig hunt with it at the lease.

    While sitting over a creek funnel, a non typical buck came down the trail & was suddenly alert & bolted off.
    Then this bobcat appeared on the trail standing broadside but as I brought up the MZ it square up to me.
    I pulled the trigger & a cloud of smoke appeared. The wind quickly blew it away & there laid the cat dead.
    The 250 gr bullet/sabot combo had struck him in the right eye & excited the back of his neck.

    He weighed about 32 lbs & was 56” long when fully stretched out.

        That’s a pretty good size cat. I’m sure a few of your local deer will appreciate you taken it out.

                yep it's a little different when you shoot and have to wait for the smoke to clear. i havent shot mine in a few years but really enjoy shooting it

                    How many grains of powder do you shoot in that? Nice looking bobcat!

                      I started low & so far 80-85 is giving good groupings

                        Ding dong I wish I were closer. I’ve called in several for friends but never pulled the trigger one one myself. I’d gladly take him off your hands and tan or mount him. Congrats. He didn’t feel a thing!

                            Nice one! Varmint hunting with a muzzleloader.

                            All the cool kids do it. He was probably sniffing around those protein blocks!

                              I think the cool kids take their varmints with a bow these days
