45Super.

Patience is the word. The bobcat will not come running in like a fox or coyote. He is likely to sit down and think about it for a while before he makes a move and if you see him coming you will surly get a case of the nerves. If he ever makes a move in your direction keep your calls to a minimum. If you get over aggressive he will take flight. Coax him very lightly until you have a good shot. These are some of the main things to remember. Hope this helps........Joe...........

45Super, for the most part oso45-70 is on the money. Let me add a few more hints. If legal the best time to hunt cats is at night I have killed many that way and I've also called them in the day.
For cats bird sounds seem to work better then most others, Cottontail also works well, but probably the best sound of all is a bobcat in heat.
Many times a bobcat will sit down and watch you, it may be 100 yards away or 5'. You must keep your eyes moving all the time watching, because all the sudden there it is and you're woundering how in the heck it got there without you seeing it.
Next to a kit fox a bobcat is not far from being dumb as a rock but they make up for it with stealth. I have seen bobcats come in like a coyote on a dead run, but like oso45-70 said most times they take lots of time......Good luck

what oso and 1coyote said,what can I add?
you do have to keep your eyes moving around looking for the cat moving in.they normally are very quite coming in.if using a hand call roll yer R's kinda like ruffles has riddges and do the rolling for a while it is the sound of the yellow hammerd wood pecker..they seem to like that sound along whith guttral sounds of a rabbit getting torn apart by something.good luck..
