502 yard shot on a coyote with a 204 ruger in Southern Alberta Canada
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Video of a bobcat hunting rabbits and birds (quail) on a golf course in North Scottsdale, AZ. This cat is the same bobcat from the previous video. Rabbit hunting is a big part of their lives in the desert as rabbits are abundant. This young bobcat is already calmer than before, as well as a better hunter. The bobcat is still a bit impatient as a hunter. Quite a few bobcats arounds here these days. bobcat hunting mountain lion cougar lynx hunt video rabbits quail Arizona AZ

You really do need a .308 with the new alloy plastic metal materials to do the real damage at long ranges. I prefer a 50 cal BMG, but the 15k is a little expensive right now for me. But I took the shot from the elevated position, aimed halfway up on the vertical reticule (set at 1000 yrds), and fired. The bullet traveled, it hit low but made the shot, I was able to retrieve the deer within the hour.

@CHCDirect
I hear you on that. But unlike most people now a days I don’t walk around with movie cameras. Its just something I end up doing. I have a Tasco 4-16 w/ an adjustable objective lens. I had a buddy make me a new barrel at his metal shop to tolerate 220 and even 270 grain 30-06 rounds. One of the magic angles for bullets for whatever reason is 28 degree angle. I was on an elevated position looking down. I had my rifle to 1000 yards with a 220 grain in the chamber.

@Mark48152
Mark,
You should take some video of your long distance shooting. I know that I wouldn’t be the only one that would love to see your marksmanship abilities here on Youtube. Especially your 1,128 yrd 30-06 shots.
Thanks for watching.
Cheers,
Andrew

@Mark48152 150 yards with a compound with no sight = Nope, never.

@darkseeka
I’m not full of it. I’ve had bad experiences with a .20 cals. Instead of a .22LR, I use a .30 cal M1 Carbine which I believe brings a lot of power to the small game hunting, and I prefer my .30-06 for large game just because I reload and it was the gun I learned to shoot growing up. You may have another, based on your experiences. Thanks for the comment!

@Mark48152 well in saying that, a 223 is 20 caliber, which is used in many assault rifles, which there for a while and still in some instances is used as a sniper caliber, but has now mainly been replaced by the 308. i shoot a 22-250 myself which has the same size bullet as the 223, which i have killed deer with both at yardages past 250-300 yards and further on coyotes with the 22-250. so the 20 calibers arent as bad as you make them out to be btw 20 gauges and 20 calibers are totally different

@Mark48152 lmfao! damn it rambo

@Mark48152 You, sir, are full of crap.

@Mark48152
I know guys who hunt with bow/arrow who successfully harvest deer from 150 yards without a sight using a compound bow. I’ve taken a deer with a few different calibers, even the brutal .50 cal BMG from 1820 yards. It was an expensive [$15,000] rifle with another $10,000 scope. Where I hunt I personally use a 30-06, and I’ve got my ammo and gun to work effectively to 1,128 yards – which is beyond the normal. I load to 220 grain,and file the crap out of my ammo to get the precision.
January 1st, 2011 at 3:30 pm
I know a lot of people who swear by 20 cals, but I don’t think many of them have enough to bring down most prey, no matter the caliber attached. Its personal experience, I’ve used a 20 guage which has failed to do the job, and a .22LR which has failed. I only purchased a .22-250 because it was supposed to bring more penetration to the table than a 30-06 @ 350 yards – given the right ammo.
I wouldn’t personally trust anything less than a .270 or .22-250 for that kind of yardage.

The bullet that was used in this vid is the Hornady 20 Cal .204 40 gr V-MAX™ I don’t have the ballistics handy but they are easy enough to look up if you go on the Hornady website. Thanks for watching and good luck with your new purchase.
Cheers,
Andrew

Just saw the vid great shot can you post what grain and hold over how far up and how much left thanks again great shot I just bought a Remington r15 vtr in the .204 looking for all the help I can get
January 1st, 2011 at 5:31 pm
@dh5freak He is shooting of off a product called Bogpod. The one that he is using is the Red Legged Devil. They have camo ones and a pile of other products – I highly recommend them if you wanna make a steady long distance shot in the field. got to bogpod.com and you’ll see all of their products.
Happy Hunting, thanks for watching.

Its nice when they sit still to be shot. Good shooting-
January 1st, 2011 at 6:06 pm
What is the thing called he rest his gun on?
January 1st, 2011 at 6:38 pm
I have heard people say a .204 aint enough for coyote, i know better. Because i have had no problems thus far killing one with a .204. I also use a ruger M77 mark 2 target in .243 shooting 55 gr. winchester ballistic silvertips that have nearly the same ballistics as a hornady v-max 40 gr. .204 bullet. The 55 gr. .243 packs more energy at long range, but you just proved that a .204 can handle yotes at long range also. .204 ruger is a great round.

@mitchellcorp Interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing

Good shot,i was going to go with a 204 but went with a 223,308 and 17 rem ,where i am the dingo skins aren’t worth anything and i used to sell alot of fox skins(but the greenies stopped that)now i just shoot the fox’s and leave them and the dingo’s have a small bounty on them.
January 1st, 2011 at 8:24 pm
Great shot and great video
January 1st, 2011 at 8:57 pm
@CHCDirect Thanks i plan on getting some. The only reason i was using 95gr was because we were deer hunting. It literally like destroyed it and it wasnt the only one. I live in cali where they dont have fur buyers so i usually dont worry about pelt damage. But i would love to get into tanning and all that stuff so i could make some cool rugs.

@iggvf Hey dipshit you said predator not mammal. A predator is an organism that lives by preying on other organisms. A bird is an organism. So get a life, hug a tree, and go back to school. And what about a human without teeth? They can still be a predator. A a lot of predators dont even use their teeth to kill an animal. Example: humans use guns, big cats use claws and some snakes use spitting venom.
January 1st, 2011 at 9:48 pm
@CaliforniaCaller I recommend the Barnes 62 grain Varmit Grenade if are going to use the .243 with little to no pelt damage.
Cheers,
Andrew
January 1st, 2011 at 10:09 pm
@CaliforniaCaller yes humans have sharp teeths dude they actuelly have both if you looked instead of being an asshole + now when you are talking about birds you are talking about a completely different subject i am talking about mammels and i really didnt think anyone could be that slow in the betræk…
January 1st, 2011 at 10:17 pm
@iggvf Oh and you cant forget the birds of prey they dont have any teeth.

@TheDodgeChallenger rabies is an entirely different beast though. dad shot one last week, it only weighed about 20 odd pounds not big enough to cause serious damage (as in life threatening) to a grown human. 1st time i saw one i was about 6 or 7 and it ran away from me
January 1st, 2011 at 11:01 pm
@spearo92 i wouldnt saythat, with the increase in rabies in cats recently there have been a few attacks. in 2009 field and stream put up a story about a man who had been attacked by one and it cut him up a lot but he managed to strangle it to death when he got a hold of its throat.he had to take rabies treatment

@skydive911 bobcats arent very big and of no real danger to people…in most areas they are much more shy than this, the few i’ve seen didnt stick around long once they new people were near by
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:14 am
@skydive911 “are they really that dangerous?” You have no clue how dangerous they are. Where I live you can sit out on my front porch at night and listen to them hunt and kill dogs and coyotes. They are very feared in my parts. I live in Georgia.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:20 am
@JustinFoSho Alright one, bobcats are not endangered. And two, law abiding citizens harvest only the amount of game they are suppose to, it’s the poachers that kill for the sake of killing and take way more then their fair share.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:37 am
I’d have put a .223 right between its eyes.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:35 am
What a beautiful animal.

i bet this is the one around my apartment complex on thompson peak parkway. our rabbit poplulation is all but gone now, they are so stealthy. so what is a rabbit catch to a bob cat like a par 3?
January 2nd, 2011 at 3:16 am
evanwilson100 hey bro your a Piece of Cat Shit.
Nothing more nothing less.
January 2nd, 2011 at 4:09 am
this one has a nice hide it would sell for a good price
January 2nd, 2011 at 4:30 am
Thats a great looking Cat. I hate how these beautiful creatures get hunted when they are endangered in some areas.. I plan on soon owning one and becoming one with the most amazing little big cat.
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:14 am
I don’t don’t that I’d say tame… acclimated, yes… tame, not so much.
Tame would imply being able to scratch it under the chin without getting shred by their claws.
But yeah, they are acclimated to humans nearby, and can co-exist fairly well with humans, as long as the humans leave them alone and respect that they are wild animals that may occasionally take a small dog instead of a rabbit for a meal.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:07 am
this bob cat is so cute, I love its white spotted ears ^^ ^^
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:08 am
LOL!!! No, I am not a hunter. I play golf and sometimes bring my camera with me for times like this.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:11 am
I thought he was going to get shot…I love hunting but I’m glad to see he wasn’t shot. I thought if someone could get that close it isn’t really hunting and therefore unsportsmanlike.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:55 am
The bobcat is so beautiful!
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:20 am
ooooohhh!!…… i was waiting for a gun shot!!
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:57 am
Great looking cat. I wonder if the markings on the back of the ears look like eyes to predators at night.
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:22 am
These bobcats are fairly tame. They are very used to people and are generally left alone.
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:48 am
i think it sad they kill em…
are they really that dangerous?
i can imagine you don’t need to come to close to such a big cat, but they look comfortable with people at some distance?
