Just stumbled onto this thread and noted that there was some discussion on bobcat size. A buddy of mine shot a bobcat in Utah 5 years ago. When he check the cat in with the Utah Div of Wildlife Services, they weighed the cat at 46 lbs. A pig of a cat! He used his 50 year old Sako Forester .243 loaded with the 85 gr Barnes TSX. A bit of overkill, but Greg has used this same bullet on dozens of cats, numerous coyotes, a few deer, and a 6 pt bull elk! Never underestimate a man who shoots one gun!
Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.
