 was out coyote hunting today in gmu418. was set up over a big clearcut.on my 3rd setup of the morning. i saw movement along the bottom on the timberline. big cougar walking the edge. here i was with my 835 and he was out about 250 yds so all i could do was watch. gave him some rabbit squeals but he paid no attention . really made the hair stand up on the back of my neck lol

Been hunting since I was a little turd and been working in the woods my entire life and have yet to see a cougar. I have to date seen a couple bears on the job over on the Longbranch Peninsula and a Bobcat over there also. That's it.

Very cool you got to see one.

Theres still a some nice cats in the 418 and 437, you just dont run into that much.  I know where a couple were hanging out during deer season.

that had to cool and frustrating at the same time
I've hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted.

Called a female cougar and two fair sized kittens in one year turkey hunting,,,,,,,took her picture looking at me a 12 yards.

Makes one re-think the "I'm the highest thing on the food chain out here"..............LOL. :yike:

That's cool, I've never seen a cougar. This year archery elk I saw my first bear that wasn't just a blur & a bob cat chasing a snowshoe hare. Both really cool experiences, seeing my first cougar would be a high light. What sucks is I'm sure there are cougars out there that have seen me plenty. Mike

That's pretty cool Brian.  Was that at the same spot that you have been hunting???  Too bad you didn't have the 7mm with you!!!
