On the morning of November 17 while deer hunting I was using a grunt tube here and there while posted up on a hill side. Heard something walking but could not pick out where or what it was. I thought at first that it was a person because it was making a lot of noise with the frosty ground until I saw the tip of it's tail. 92 yards with the Remington Model Seven .243. It was either swing the camera around and press record or grab the rifle and squeeze the trigger. I'm sure you can guess what I grabbed. Craziest hunt ever and one that I will never forget. Wildlife biologist determined it was a female around 3-4 years old. Gutted weight was 75lbs at the taxidermist. I'm guessing live weight would be right around 90-100lbs. Enjoy the pictures.

Sweet. Nice shot. I always buy the tag, but I haven’t ever seen one in the woods.

Good job! Was more than amazed at the amount of cougar tracks i saw during late whitetail.

Watched the video on this, awesome job. Now that rifle season's over for deer, guess I'll go try to grunt in a cat

Very cool, way to save some deer!

wadu1 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 22, 2018, 09:18:14 PM »

Awesome, I hope you saved some of the meat, it's great. Pound it out with a meat tenderizer fry like pork and server cover with a Frangelca Sause it's the cat's meow good stuff

Agreed. I bet it was 125+ based on OP's height and the girth of that thigh. The cat in my avatar was 115 and I'm 6'1/200.

Nice cougar. Well done!👍

skagitsteel · « **Reply #30 on:** November 25, 2018, 11:15:45 PM »

Nice job! If it were up to me, every cat killed by a hunter would be worth an extra deer tag! Way too many cats around.
