Great job, great story, thanks for sharing.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Holy crap man, that’s a monster cat!  Congrats!

The thanks. Yes it was. I’m 6’4 and 260 for comparison. I can’t believe how heavy he was.

Thank you. A lot of time, frustration, and stubbornness went into this one.

Wow congrats, great story, thanks for sharing.  I am just glad to see I am not the only one that has conversations in my head.  Sounds almost exactly what would be going through my mind....

Same here.  Some times those arguments can get pretty intense... :chuckle:

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sometimes it seems like calling in a cat will never happen. Glad to see persistence pays off.
