Kahuna, if you are going to make a post like that you should show the pic. A 300 lb black bear is a lot less likely than most think let alone a cougar.

Probably that one from North Bend area from a few years back that's been circulating around the internet with claims of being killed in several different states.

I don't know... you can really bulk up if you are feasting on Seattle hikers... :chuckle:

Is this the one you are referring to? If so, it's been on here before (It was taken a few years ago). Although it is one BIG cat, it certainly does not weigh 300 lbs.

I know there's a thread here about it and the story behind it. (This is the same one that Bobcat is referring to)

If I could download I would, not that tech savvy, sorry,. Saw the pictures of the one from northbend, looks like a different cat. I myself call B.S. also, just was wondering if anyone else got the text pic or not. I kileed some nice cats and have hunted with brother with hounds quite a few times never heard of or seen anything close to this size of cat.

Here is the info from B.C. website on the cat agchawk posted:

The truth is that it was taken in King County, Washington in December 2002 by Roy Hisler with one shot from a .30-06. His partner, Jim Hackewitz, used a varmint call to bring in the big cat � taken within 6 miles of Bellevue, Washington (a major suburb of Seattle). The cougar was accepted into the 25th Big Game Awards at 15-7/16.

I've hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted.
