First Cougar
« on: November 02, 2014, 08:13:47 PM »
One shot with my .270 dropped him in his tracks at 60 yards. To say the least I was beside myself with excitement that I had to sit down haha, and my girlfriend was really confused cause all she SaW was something brown drop on the hill above us... guess I didn't take the time to explain what I was looking at haha. When I said it was a cougar the look on her face was priceless. He is 7ft nose to tail and about 190 pounds. Pretty awesome day hunting  8)

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
