Cougar down!!!
« on: September 11, 2014, 09:49:50 PM »
  Last Night Decided To Go For A Hunt Looking For Bear Number 2. SItting 12 Yards Off The Road I. A Slash Pile Overlooking A Clearcut.  After About Half Hour I Heard A Small Branch Break.  I Watched For A Minute And Saw Brown Moving Through The Alders And Watched It Disappear Into A Tank Trap.  I Thought For Sure Deer, I Layed The Rifle Back In My Lap And Watched To See It Go By. When It Came Up I Thought Cat!.  At That Point It Was No More Than 12 Yards.  As I Raised The Rifle To Make A Left Hand Shot My Arm Hit A Root On The Stump I Was On And Made A Snap.  The Cat Froze Looking At Me.  I Can't Belive It Stayed Long Enough For A Shot.  It Jumped About 4 Feet Straight Up, And In About 2 Leaps Covered About 15 Yards Across The Road, And Up The Bank.  I Could Hear It Going Through The Blackberry Bushes And Reprod For A Bit.  20 Minutes Later On The Road I Went To Look For Blood, And Found Chunks Of Lung. Began To Track As It Was Getting Dark, And Found It About 25 Yards In.  The Most Nerve Racking Track Job Ever For Me. 
  Turned Out To Be A 2-3 Year Old Female At Around 100Pounds.  This Has Been A Once In A Lifetime Year For Me So Far With My First Bear In The Spring, And My First Cougar.
