I passed on a bobcat yesterday evening, but it had nothing to do with the legality. On hind sight, I wish I would’ve shot it for the good of my quail and turkey populations.I've been tempted to do it while deer hunting, but never have. Same with coyotes on occasion. Depending on the circumstances, a coyote may, or may not, get a pass. Some of the easiest, best shots I could have had on bobcats were during deer season. Alas, it was always too early.
