Wow! Killer photo Kurt!!!!!

We have bobcats around here, but it is nearly impossible to get a look at one. They are so reclusive. This photo was taken at only 300mm..... how did you ever get so close?

Gosh,
I was reading through the replies feverishly as I too have tried many times to get an image of a bobcat in the wild. To the extent of building blinds after studying their routes for long periods and trying to simply be "in the right place at the right time". Of course I have yet to be successful with many many hours of effort hehe.

This would have been a once in a lifetime shot especially with such a short lens. A spectacular one none the less. Hope my tracking pays off at some point. I have had many local hunters and trappers offer to help me call one in however I am hoping to one day catch one without the need.

Great image,
Mark
