took my hound hunting this morning, just me and her. we found a swamp that had a couple sets of fresh tracks and i turned her loose, after about a two hour chase i looked up to see a slammer of a bobcat 20 yards away [ mid 30s] i pulled up and shot but forgot to put a shell in the chamber. i never got to see him again after that. a few years ago that would of made me mad but today im having fun laughing at myself
