After seeing a bobcat while deer hunting two years in a row now I've decided its time to see if i can try to bag one.
The first one i saw was there and gone before i realized what it was and the one this year was about 50-60 feet lower than me and 50 yards out at the bottom of a ravine and as i brought my scope up to get a better look at the beautiful animal it took off. I've been looking for a Kimber Montana in 204 or 223 with no luck and there are plenty of 243's to be had but is that too much for a cat? If i did buy a 243 id like to sight it in with a TTSX for deer and use that load for yotes and cats too but don't want to destroy the hide on the cat, yotes i don't care about though. If i stayed in the ribs and away from larger bones im thinking id be okay but not sure. Anyone have experience?

thanks
Cory
