I want to thank everyone for all the help. As an update, went down and hunted five days. As a group we had one miss, but I should clarify we were all hunting with traditional bows.
We did end up with four hogs and another great TX hunt experience.
I do not know if I even had a bobcat respond to my set ups, but we certainly had fun and enjoyed the warmer temps.

Yes, one guy missed a bobcat with his longbow.
Had a great time, as usual.

BobMt, Don't know how far I would have to drive to find a chicken?? there ain't any here, we do have a lot of Cottontails, jackrabbits,Quail, dove, and a lot of fawns in the spring, Whitetail and Exotic's, and pigs.
Last year I killed 63 bobcats and 332 coyotes, so far this year i've killed 19 bobcats and 39 coyotes, which is about right for Feb.
The nearest KFC, 65 miles ya got me thinking about chicken. Rio7

BobMt, We have a little over 25000 acres here, When we don't have hunters I try to trap some, but it's impossible to check traps and take out hunters, we do have gray fox on the S.Ranch, but none up here, I have killed coyotes from a chopper, most I ever killed in one day was 48 coyotes and 1 bobcat.
Yep it's 65 miles to KFC, but it's also 65 miles back, but I think can smell it from here. Rio7
