Missouri turkey hunter kills bobcat that attacked his head

(AP) A Missouri hunter is recovering from a wound to the back of his head after being attacked by a bobcat. The Springfield News-Leader reports that the hunter, from Clever, Missouri, was turkey hunting on Monday, the first day of the turkey season. According to a Missouri Department of Conservation report obtained by the newspaper, the hunter was using a turkey call to lure birds in. Instead, the noise got the attention of a large male bobcat, which pounced on his head and shoulder area, forcing him to shoot the animal.
