Airgun Bobcat Report from the Wet Side of Oregon

[BUTCHER45]

stalked and spotted at 35 or so yards. She went straight down with a neck shot, and I put another .45caliber EPP/UG into her heart for good measure as she lay there, though it probably wasn't necessary (I'd rather not risk having to track in the terrain to either side of her). Female 14.5lbs after bleeding out for a few hours.


I shot her at a distance of about 35yards.....I peered around the bend in the path, and saw her sitting contently quartering away from me, apparently focused on something in the brush? Perfect opportunity for a neck shot.....worked awesome.

I have more pictures of the limited fur damage if anyone is interested.

Cool! Nice animal.

I was wondering if the bore on that gun would handle skirted .45 muzzleloader bullets like these? http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=274734

Isn't the bore on that something like .452?
