Predator Call

Last March I had the opportunity to hunt with a most interesting and delightful lady, Jackie Gragg.  Miss Jackie is fairly new at the hunting game for she took it up only three years ago after the death of her husband.  It seems that hunting had helped to fill a void left with his passing.I met Miss Jackie at her camp house near Palestine, Texas where she showed me the 9 bucks that she had killed over the last three years.  Then, she showed me the spot just right of the fireplace where she wanted to put the full body mounted bobcat that she knew I was going to call up for her.

After trying several different bobcat calls, I did manage to call a bobcat to Miss Jackie and she made an excellent shot on it.  There was a cold wind blowing and the predators were not moving.  While we were walking to the stands and sitting in the cold wind without  any success, Miss Jackie never complained and remained optimistic.  By the way, did I mention that she is 75 years young.  It’s never too late.
