Bobcat coming in on me while bowhunting

Saw this bobcat coming down the power-line while bowhunting this morning so I was quick with my phone to take a video. He's smelling my mock scrape I made 2 days ago & then came within 4" of my ladderstand. As he was walking pass he looked back up at me, and then trotted off down the hill it was awesome.

That was great footage! LOL Thanks

Good stuff!

I like how he was so quiet in that dry leaf litter

Thanks for sharing that. Didnt take much sound for him to find you, crazy how keen their senses are.
I have an old VCR video my uncle shot from his tree stand. A bobcat was chasing a squirrel up and down the tree next to him. That cat was just at home in the branches as it was on the ground. Incredibly fast climber and very nimble in the tree too. Was right on that squirrel's tail the whole time.

Thanks for sharing ! very cool video

Nice video!

A couple years ago on a very frosty and crunchy morning I was in my tree. I did a few bleeps every now and then. Suddenly I saw the ugliest golden lab I've ever seen. Was wondering which dang neighbor got their dog loose. My eyes focus and I realize its a cougar. I tried to slyly pull my phone out to take a photo. It got near the base of my tree, I looked at my phone, looked back at the cat and he was gone. I never heard a sound. Amazing.

that must have been great !! thanks for sharing

Nice! After he smelled you at the base of the stand it didn't take much noise for him to figure it was best to leave the area, just whatever noise you made turning to get a better angle.

Great footage,thanks for sharing it.

Cool Experience for You!!!

That's really cool. It's little times like that that make hunting/trapping so much fun.

Id say closer than 4". Looks like his nose touched the ladder.

nice job - good work getting the camera on him and sharing.

In my estimation, that bobcat's whiskers touched your ladder.

Very Cool! Thanks for sharing! I hope you get him this season.

Whatever cover scent u were using will work for cat lure. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool video..
