My scanner is not cooperating with me so I hope that these are eligible in the contest. 

I was hunting down in Trout Lake in 2006 Modern Firearm Deer season.  I was sitting on a dried creek bed behind a large log.  From my position, I could look down the creek and see if any deer were grazing.  Lots of deer sign in the area was keeping me on my toes even though the weather was cold and rainy.  About 0845 I heard a twig snap in the brush, saw a flash of tan, and then a Cougar head looking right at me 15 feet away!  I slowly reached for my 30-06 sitting right next to me, put it up to my shoulder, and relized that my scope covers were still on.  She was so close that I looked down the barrel and squeezed a shot of.  Direct hit.  I figured that she was not going to continue moving, but I was wrong.  Thru the brush she came and another shot with the rifle.  I climbed over the log, pulled the scope covers off and hit her in the heart.  The whole situation happened so fast that when all was said and done, all I could say was Holy Sh*t for about 5 minutes straight. 

She measured 6 foot nose to tail and weighed approx. 125-140 lbs.  Not 100% on the weight, it was the game wrdens guess.  I got 40 lbs of meat off of it so alls well that ends well.
