BIG KITTY

[addicted]

found this sucker on another website. It says its from bellevue wa.

[bowhuntin]

i posted a picture of this cat a while back, not sure what happened to the thread. I think I got it off the boone and crockett website.

Running into a cat this size would definitely make me nervous.

[rasbo]

It would make me shoot..Thats a big putty tat

Good lord!  I gonna have to think twice about going into the woods.

[DOUBLELUNG]

Pretty close - North Bend as I recall.

Here is what I found on the Boone and Crockett webpage:

HUNTER: Ron Hisler from Duval, WA

GREEN SCORE: 15-12/16

OFFICIAL SCORE: The official entry score for this cougar is 15-7/16


Man, that cat is HUGE!!!!!!

That cat had more rumors circulating about him than Bill Clinton.  He is a big one, and I think it did turn out to be North Bend.  Wasn't it snatching shoppers from the outlet mall or something when he finally racked it down.

Good one Bones!!

That's right, Doublelung. The hunter is Jim Hackiewicz of Custom Osteo. He used to split his time between the skull/skeleton cleaning service company and being as a PH in Africa. He cleaned a bear skull for me in 2000 and now spends most of his time in Africa. Not sure if he still offers osteo services.

He's a moderator on Jesse's Hunting and Outdoors if you want to contact him about it.

Big cat fo shizzle

Jim used to live in North Bend but recently moved to the east side.  If I recall, he was not the person who shot the animal but a friend of his did.  The animal was shot out of state, I believe.

Jim, aka JJHACK, can be reached at 24hourcampfire.  Actually, I am surprised I haven't seen him here, although I am fairly new to this site.

Remember its front paw was missing from a trap, you can see it in the picture.

No, it was shot close to North Bend by a hunter with Jim.

I bought something from Jim before he moved from North Bend.  I also heard the story about a cougar he killed right at his house in North Bend up close and personal.

According to the Boone and Crockett website, the cat was harvested by Ron Hisler of Duval, WA and had an official entry score of 15-7/16.

The story I read stated that Jim called it in to Ron Hisler using a pred call and Mr. Hisler dropped the big cat.

Yep, you are correct!  Jim just sent me an e-mail confirming it was shot near North Bend.
