Awesome, congrats! It’s always good to hear when hard work pays off!
Looked like a fairly large Tom, was it? Hard to tell from the pics.

Good luck this weekend!
My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.
Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.

Yep, I’m tagging along to help. I’m kind of a cat expert now.  :chuckle:

its a great pic. I’m super happy with the cat. There were bigger ones taken and smaller ones. Some guys haven’t got one yet so I’m calling it a great cat. Shot it with my bow, worked my butt off and have the whole thing on video.

It’s easily the biggest cat I’ve ever shot.

I had to buy a 2018 license for last week. Idaho is a two cougar state in some units so  can whack one this coming December. Right after I deer and elk here. I may as well I have a license. Plus at this rate I should be able to buy a resident license in 2019. By the end of this weekend I will have been Idaho more than Washington in 2018.

Whatever it takes, never give up. Nobody said it was gonna be easy, they said it would be worth it.

That's one thing I hope Wa doesn't adopt. We have too many stupid drivers causing speeding accidents. I wish the state and county would start passing out more speeding tickets. The roads here are for the most part not designed for excessive speed
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Good Luck!

Hoping you're on a hot track!
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
