So when you guys do go to shoot a Bob outta the tree you are shooting it through the lungs not through the head correct?

Be careful if you use a 22 mag., head shots have resulted in a wasted cat hide hanging high in a tree for I and others at times. Al

I hear ya Al!!!!!! I have a few skeletons hanging in trees around the country. Alder trees always seem to be the worst for hanging cats up in the forks.
