You doing some cat hunting whiteknuckles?
Shoot him he is after your dogs lol
Unless I'm mistaken, it's now January 2018 So...there is no late season for 2018 OR they did away with the stupid quota system? Or they just haven't updated it from last year here's to hoping the quota system is gone, I'll be checking the website and going hunting until I hear otherwise.

You get it found? waiting for some pics
Guess I'm done I was trailing cats today and had a good spot picked out for tomorrow
If nothing vital was hit, it could easily survive. What bullets are you shooting, solids or an expanding type?Do you have any idea what part/where on the body you hit, what area did the fur you were finding look like it came from?What did the blood look like, color, amount, etc?Any pictures of the blood or fur?
Ok... for all that's been waiting. Yesterday at about 4 I got home from work. My wife then left me with the bambina and went out to collect eggs. 20 seconds later she ran inside screaming "It's back". I grabbed my AR, that was loaded and ready, and ran outside with my wife and dog in tow. I soon realized I was way to excited, as I was now standing 20ft, yes 20ft, from a lion that looked like he was about to mess me up! He was standing strait at me in the pounce position. I aimed and fired. He rolled and let out a noise I will never forget.After all night praying to God, at least 50 times, I woke up this morning with friends ready to find my cat. After 400 yards of tracking blood and fur I still haven't found it. I have know idea how an animal that has been shot by a 556 at 20ft away can last that long. I'm not giving up, but my heart and mind is not in a good place.
Look in the TREES?
Take the dog for a walk :

It was facing strait at me, when I think back, I think I was excited and scared at the same time. I aimed center mass under its chin. The blood is blood red, not lung or liver blood. The bullet was a hornady SST. I just don't understand how it could have gone that far. I shot it at 20ft. The thing rolled like it was hit by a car. I feel like crying. I should have used a 300 or 00buck. But everything I read said a simple 22 would due. I figured 556 was plenty. I know it's dead, but how far away did it die? That's what in my head right now.
Bummer, hope you can at least get some closure and a skull from it. On a positive note, if alive, it probably won't be back in your coop or anyone else's.
What kind of bullets were you using?
