seems you get a false sence of what cougars really can be when you look around at all the mounts of 100lb cats on store walls. then a picture like that comes along or you get up close and personal with one like i did a couple years ago. then you get a true understanding of how big these cats can get and it gives you an entirely new respect for them.

I want one!!!!!!!!!  Wonder if the wife would let me keep it, if I told her it followed me  home!!!   :chuckle: :chuckle:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

I've been fortunate to see quite a few in the wild, but only one huge tom  - perceptions and recollections can change with time, but i remember thinking when I saw it that it looked like it would take some effort to force its head into a 5-gallon bucket!  I'm sure it wasn't THAT big, but at the time it sure looked like it.  As written above, pumpkinhead!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
