Awesome Flyguide! Well, Well, Very Well Done!

Nothing wrong with a point shot pistol at 10 - 30 yards. Best decision under the circumstances. (I don't aim a pistol at all anymore! 100% two eyed instinctive, same as bow and shotgun.)

How much ground did you cover before you caught up?

If I go ahead and do a Cougar DVD, I may want to meet with you and talk about that one! Not many guys could or would use that technique anymore. Especially high speed! (I'd have to do it at a packer's plod!) That's simply awesome! Way to go!

Flyguide, nice job!  Am I wrong in thinking I have seen where you have had success with this technique before?

Cool story.  Who needs dogs when you can have flyguide run them down for you.

Must have learned it from these guys.

Thanks for sharing the story.  What a great adventure.  I'm sure you didn't stop shaking for a day or two.

 :yike:  Sweet. Congrats man.   :drool:  Thats at least the fourth cougar to hit the board in the last month or so. Some day I would love to get one. Just curious. In the last picture of you holding the cat up it looks like something happened to his tail. Is that from one of the shots or did something else happen to it.  :dunno:  :brew: Doesn't really matter you got him. My hats off to you. Great job :brew:
