17 lb Bobcat Taken with 6.5 Grendel, Thermal Predator Hunt

[Brian Shaffer]

I saw on Facebook where nearly everybody likes cat videos, right?

Not my intended target for the night. I didn't even bring any calling gear, but this is what showed up.

Needless to say, the Berger VLD-Hunting managed to fully penetrate from the back of the head, diagonally down the neck, and out the other side with a little finger-sized exit wound.

I got a kick out of the deer not running away. It wasn't until I was out of the stand and walking toward them before they got into motion.

The skin is being harvested.

Remind me to never let you around my two cats!

Pretty accurate shooting on a small target, but the cat is huge compared to the mouse you killed a while back!

Good shot. I haven't got a shot on a cat yet but I need one for my wall ;)

 

[Brian Shaffer]

Well hopefully after my suppressor from you guys gets cleared (maybe in the next month or so??), I won't be worrying about spooking the deer so much!

 

[Jeremy M.]

Oh you got lucky and got one of the Surefire's. We haven't got any of those in since you ordered even though we have had them on order. I guess no more ping for you soon.

 

[Brian Shaffer]

Indeed! I can't wait to try it out...but apparently because of some legality, I have to wait, LOL.

Good work man.. Looking forward to my first cat as well. I think I speak for more than one of us when I say we sure will miss that infamous "ping" from the machine that goes ping, but congrats on the sweet upgrade! Hope to see pics when she gets out of jail and installed on the ARtist formerly know as "ping"
