John, my plan was to leave that wildcat a pile of $hit and my boots on that treestand, and make a hasty retreat to the truck which was less than a 1/4 mile from there. With out that extra weight of boots,bow, and bowell contents I figure I could make pretty good time.
A buddy of mine knew a fellow years ago that had a bobcat in a cage, I think his words describing it were something like "15 lbs of rompin' stompin', death, hellfire, and destruction" I can see that.
