I got a bobcat with my 257 wby
« on: November 12, 2009, 04:59:40 PM »
Here's a couple pictures:







The down side is I shot him at 30 yards. It sure blew him up badly, trust me, this is the "good" side.

Sure put him down quick though.

They are easy to mess up.  I shot one with a 30-30 at 50 yards and I could stick my fist in the hole it made.

Ooops,

Sorry guys I hadn't checked back to this thread in a while. I wouldn't even take pictures of the "bad" side, and if I had, there's no way I would ever post anything like that anywhere. I very much doubt that even Photobucket would allow that to stay on my account, let alone any forum I frequent.

Let's just say, it was a "mess" and call it good!

 ;D

The plus side was, at least I didn't have to track him.

 ;D

I bet you didn't. I can't imagine anything coyote size or less hit with a .257 WM that would need to be tracked no matter how poor the hit was. I used a .243 once on a feral cat and let's just say it came from together to apart. Serious mess and the .243 isn't nearly the same power level as the .257 WM.

Why don't you sell me that 257 WM and get you a tame varmint rifle?  I am a little envious!

Caliboose,

Well I was actually out deer hunting at the time. He just walked up the game trail I was standing on.

If I'd have been gunning for bobcats, I would have taken my .223, or even my 22 hornet at that distance.

 Knowing the 257 Wby ballistics I bet there isnt anything on the other side..

 Hit a yote at about 50+ yards with my 270 WSM launching the 130gr win. supreme and it literally canoed him out..

 Congrats on the tom,
