Cougar
« on: September 08, 2008, 09:43:14 PM »
While out bowhunting for deer Saturday I had this cougar come walking down the road right to me completely unaware of my presence. Since I've failed to get pictures of cougars I've seen in the past, my first thought was to grab my video camera out of my fanny pack and take some video. I got about 5 seconds worth and figured that was enough. Now the cougar was only 35 yds away, I took 2 steps to my right and was around the bend in the road and out of his sight. He still didn't see me (I think because i was in the shadows). I then went to full draw and waited for him to come around the corner but he never did. After a couple of minutes I peeked around the corner and he was gone. So close!

...I took 2 steps to my right ...

Betcha a dollar it saw you move back just before you drew, and bailed up or down. It was probably lying there with its chin on the ground watching you look for it!

Great shots! Wish it was a hero shot though...

That is a feat to get even 5 seconds of video on a cougar in the wild, damn near as cool as killing one.  Way to go!

Sounds like a similar incident I had happen to me last year somewhere outside Van Zandt.

Good job on getting the pics!
