That looks like a big cat. Not sure if it is 300lbs though.

I saw a pic at Sportsmans in Lacey with a bigger head then that and I know it was only near 200#.

Nice cat, but not 300, not even 200 I bet.

Nice cat regardless. I wouldn't mind seeing some better pics of it. So was it really killed near Shelton??

I've tagged dozens of cougar, and network with guys who in total have registered thousands from the western states.  Heaviest weighed cougar I know of was 210lbs.  My understanding is the North Bend cat was 201 and a fraction, with a belly full of deer.  Biggest I've touched personally were big toms that weighed 170-180lbs. 

Not saying it's impossible, BUT a cat of that size would be in the league of a 900lb black bear, a 700lb whitetail, a 50lb steelhead or a 120lb chinook.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

 Huge cat, but I've seen paws that size on cat's at 180lbs. They look bigger than they weigh. A friend of ours once held the State archery record for cougar, now he's at about #7. His cat weighed right around 200, or just under.

I have a friend who used to have two tigers, the female at 12 years old weighed about 350, can't imagine a cougar weighing close to that but :dunno:
