Today was awesome it is right up there with some of my best hunting memory's. It started as a crummy day had to work didn't look like I was gonna get out in the woods at all but I guess luck was on my side I got off early I was amped I had just enough time to clean up and gear up then hustle to where I'd be hunting. I also be looking for a glove I lost the day before , so I rushed out to the spot and grab my bow and my pack. I had an hour of legal shooting light I just started to hunt the area since my normal area is closed right now, so I was concerned with learning it a bit better. I walked down the foot path toward where I lost my glove trying to be quite as possible. The conditions made it a bit had being dry and needing rain it seem like every thing I touched made a loud crunch. But I was glad to be out and was enjoying the stillness around me, I finally made my way to where I was the day before I lucked out finding my glove. I decide I head south to a little road that let me get around the other side of the thicket I was walking along. I realized I didn't have enough time to rattle at this point so I figured I just take my time headed to the truck maybe get to see a deer. Well I got to the back side of the thicket and started a slow walking stoping to listen often. I had just stopped to listen right before the road I was on dips down where a creek crosses than has a nice little grade going up on the other side of the creek. Now what made my day wasn't a deer staring at me forty yards from me standing at this little crossing. But a dark grayish brown bob cat , we sat there staring at one another for probably a minute before it darted into the woods. I have been hunting for ten years now I've seen bear ,deer , elk , moose, but never a bob cat. I got as excited as six year old on Christmas morning. I want to see a mountain lion some time I bet that be cool and I'd love to have it as story to tell. Then to put the chatty on top I got to see a beautiful 5x5 buck , I didn't harvest him it was past legal shooting hours but what can I say I'll take not harvesting a deer to enjoy experiences like I had today
