glad your dog made it.
That's my favorite way to see a cougar ..ventilated

Cool story and congrats on the cat. Good to hear the dog was not severly hurt

It was near Wenatchee, and as far as keeping the gun loaded, this is not my self defense gun and I don't shoot it very often so with two young kids in the house loaded all times isn't going to happen.
Here's another pic to give u an idea of how close he was

That's one heck of a way to fill your cougar tag! Glad the dog is safe

thats a heck of a way to be woken out of a sound sleep!! how was it trying to go back to bed?  awesome that you saved your dog. cats seam to be getting awful braisen these days. i think your lab owes you a snack    i wonder if the game department realizes that we need to do something about are predator population yet

Did the beagle ever come back? Hope the cat didn't get him. Had beagles when I lived in NY. Great little dogs.

There's a man who protects his family. Well done!

Wow CRAZY story for sure but not the first time I've heard it.My buddy shot at one that was leaving nose marks on his windows of the upstairs balcony after chasing a neighborhood cat up there.He missed though with a full clip,it jumped off the balcony and ran through his yard.


Iceman my coworker got a pretty good scare one night with having a preloaded,good to go .38.It went off on its own in the middle of the night and shot a hole through the bedroom wall that went through the shower on the other side and right on outside the house.Woke him up from a dead sleep.Only logical explanation that I could come up with is a proud primer with weak/thin  metal and the heat was just right to allow the hammer tension to set it off.I informed him the way to go is resting on an empty cylinder.

Good job.

All the more reason to keep the gun loaded in the future?

I though baiting cougars was illegal 

Good to hear all is ok and nice cougar
