" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Up in NE Washington

Another deer eating machine released
Not exactly 'released'... he was already living there and doing his thing.  He probably eats mostly elk.  I suspect this lion has killed wolves, other lions, and coyotes effectively for half a decade.  If you want more deer, a lion like this is helpful.  He probably kills more lions in a year than most hunters will in their lifetime.

He is extraordinary.  I'm glad he was a gentleman...the dogs wouldn't stand a chance against a cat like this.

Im guessing he would rather hunters who killed it be in the photo?  Which were my thoughts as well, then I read WAcoyotehunter’s response, maybe he’s better alive?

Kertson is a very capable bio.

Also, a top male like that does indeed kill a lot of dispersing juvenile male cougars!

Bart, you got any photos of his track or his stride?  Did he give you much of a run?  Not too many guys have ever treed a cat that big....or ever will....  :)
