Dream come true .......
«

December 27, 2018, 08:11:29 PM »
As I type this I’m still in disbelief at what I’ve been able to experience this fall. I’ve shared my success stories throughout the year within Deer/Elk topics but never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be wrapping up the year within this category.
I’d always dreamed about an epic cat hunt which I hoped included wild country, deep snow, incredible hounds and a cat of what dreams are made of. Long story short, this hunt which I thought would take place many years from now all came together in the past few weeks.
I’m lost for words, I’ll let a few pics tell the story...

Big cat down. I’m 6’0, 225. This cat blew away my expectations.

How do you measure trying, you do, or you don’t.

Nicely done, one hell of cat, he looked very pissed off in the tree.👍

Awesome man...youll have to text me the general area. Wondering if that's one of cats we crossed paths with in Nov.
Heck of a way to wrap up the year.
