Charlie,

When are you going to reveal the weight? I'm real curious, he looks like a big one considering the size of your buddy.

Well the cat was a  7 1/2 footer measured on the carcass , and weighed in at 130lbs live weight and aged at 8 years or older. I just wanted people to see what a 180 lb cat doesnt look like :chuckle: Alot of people really miss judge caougars . Real deceiving huh  :) I would have thought it weighed more than 130 by the pics though. Funny thing is his carcass measurements fit right on the biggest lifesize cougar forms they have in my main supplier.

Wow!!!! That does put it into perspective. That thing must look anorexic from a frontal shot. :chuckle:

125ish, nice cat.  Opps I guess it doesn't count when you've alreay posted it, didn't scroll down far enough.  Just like bears cats are very hard for folks to judge if they don't see a bunch of them.

That threw me too. I was gonna say 125, but then the guy is fairly large so I went higher. :bash:

Ive never seen one of these guys in the wild but this pic sure helps me on judging size if that ever happens.   ;)

man if that cat is only 130ish then the one i shot up above ellensburg last deer season was only about 170ish. actually it was maybe smaller but comparing the head on that cat and your buddies head then the cats body size compared to its head that cat would look ALOT bigger in the wild.

90% of the mounts i have seen make the cats look alot smaller then they really look in the wild.

yet most pics make them look alot bigger then they really were in the wild.

a girl i knew in high school has the state record archery cougar on her wall and its not that big of a bodie at all. maybe a little bit bigger then the cat pictured.

her record cougar probably is a small cat. body size has zero effect on score. it all about the pumpkin head  :chuckle:

Hmm...I thought it was one of them that killed one up by the old garbage dump. Guess I'm mistaken.
