I broke out my .270 A-Bolt. I hope I just tweaked a muscle in my back and it's not something going on with a disc in my neck. It's aggravating and just bad enough that I can't draw my bow. I won't be able to hunt again until December 13, so hopefully it will be cleared up by then. Just didn't feel right sitting with the rifle today.

It didn't feel right, but it was still better than sitting around the house. I'd rather shoot a doe with my bow than a buck with a rifle any day. I got a shot at a huge male bobcat Friday afternoon at 13 yards. Joker never knew I was in the world. In all of my years bowhunting that is only the second shot I've gotten off at a bobcat. The other 5 or 6 times I got busted drawing on them. On the two I've gotten shots off at, I've hit right in front of them. Suckers are quick. The next time I get a shot at one, I'm aiming at the hindquarters.

I've had more trouble hitting grey fox. It was a 15 yard shot. The fox was gone before my arrow got there. I didn't even attempt another shot, he was so fast.

I've only gotten a shot at a bobcat twice in my life. Both under twenty yds. Missed both !

" I'd rather shoot a doe with my bow than a buck with a rifle any day" . Hey I'm right there with you Shaw on them feelings. It's a dieing breed not many of us left that feel that way.
It is hard to kill or catch anything sitting on the couch!

I know the feeling. I've been out 23 times so far with no success yet. I took my rifle once and it didn't feel right. I really want my first deer to be a bow kill so I'm sticking with the bow until I get #1 ...
Good luck with the neck ...

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I've only shot at 1 bobcat with a bow. It was 34yds and I drilled it right through the lungs. I should have got it mounted...

[quote=T-town]Cheater!!! [/quote The other 5 or 6 times I got busted drawing on them. On the two I've gotten shots off at, I've hit right in front of them. Suckers are quick. The next time I get a shot at one, I'm aiming at the hindquarters. I shot at one walking the edge of a patch and he didnt have a clue I was there. Ducked the first arrow and started preening himself. Got drawn and held low and he jumped over the second shot and sat back down. I was gonna try him a third time but I figured he'd either catch the arrow in his paws or bat it away so i just licked my wounds and waited on a deer. Those jokers are unbelievably quick. But I can confim that they are not quicker than a .270.

I broke out the ML last w/e. Didn't see a deer, so I leveled a yote. I just want to put one more doe in the freezer and horn hunt with a bow after that.

Shaw if you are in good health otherwise, take 800mg of ibuprofen for 3 or 4 days. I guess I shouldn't recommend that, but that's what I have done when my neck flairs up. If you do make sure you drink a full glass of water after taking them or they will eat the end off your esophagus. You can take 4, 200 mg tablets or go to the doctor, spend money on that and get a prescription for 800 mg tablets. LOL Never have figured that out.

Been taking ibuprofen since Saturday and it hasn't helped. It hasn't gotten and better or worse. I'm afraid it's going to wind up being a herniated disc right below what they repaired when I broke my neck. It's the same pain I had when I broke my neck, only a little lower. Gonna be hard headed about it and give it a couple of weeks and see what it does.

Are you taking 800 mg at a time?
