Three of A Kind

Yesterday afternoon I took the Glock 20 and sat in a tripod that overlooks a small tank (pond) that is surrounded by brush, hoping to see a hog. Around 5:30 a bobcat walks out and goes to the edge of the water directly on the opposite side of the tank facing me about 35 or 40 yards away. I flicked on the crimson trace railmaster laser, put the dot right between the cat's shoulder blades and fired. The cat dropped were he stood. I'm sitting there still holding the gun thanking my luck when out steps another bobcat!
This one walks up behind the first one and presents me the same shot presentation. I stick the red dot in the same place right between his shoulders and he drops at the shot. Now I really cant believe my good luck. I just killed two bobcats in as many minutes with a pistol. Imagine my surprise when a third bobcat walks out!
This one was a little more cautious and only came within a few yards of the other two and only gave a broad side shot opportunity. By this time I'm getting a little jittery but steadied the red dot on the cats chest as best I could. At the shot he jumped strait up in the air and hit the ground running, I panicked and swung the pistol on him and made a fast snap shot as he ran for the brush. He rolled at the shot!  :o  ;D The bullet spined him far back in front of his hips so he required a finisher. My first shot had hit low just barely grazing his belly. I think my gun is shooting a few inches low because both of the other cats were hit in the top of the head when they should have been hit between the shoulder blades. The load used was Buffalo Bore 180gr. Gold Dots.

And to prove all of this really did happen, here are a couple pictures. The first two as they lay.



And here are all three.

With that kind of luck in the last few days of 2012, makes me wonder what 2013 has in store for you!

That's beyond awesome.  Even one cat is awesome.  Best of luck to ya in the New Year 2013.
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.

I had to look. They only carry three loads now huh. The 180's pictured are Montana Gold's unless you have some old stuff.

I was kinda thinking they would be Montana Gold bullets too, unless like you said it was some older product from the yester years.
