Ummmm....I don't think so. I believe he is a member on this site and posted the pics and story about a month or so ago. If I rmember right he found a fresh set of good tracks and tracked him down. Nice cat and even a better story. 


flyguide shot it about a month ago.

Just got it in a Email from a friend , didnt know about this before then , the pic had a date of 1/17/2010 so i figured it was for real . MY BAD  :bash: I got Punked you guys .
Now for the 318 lb part. look at the size of that animal next to a 200 lb man , looks like it could go 300 to me . I was a little afraid to post this as i have seen many like it on the internet and then the REAL story comes out . I figured someone would say it was shot three years ago in Montana or Idaho .
so What did it Weigh???????

This cat weighed an estimated 140-160 lbs, on the paw... No where near 300, but a beautiful cat!

Weighed more than a tabby cat, less than a Bengal tiger.

Don't think he was chowin on the Wiskas.

read the book that del cameron wrote on hound hunting.  he stopped keeping track after 200 lions and he only treed a few that were close to 200lbs.  300lbs sounds like someones blowing smoke.  you ever tried to pack something that big through snow?  if its 300 post a pick of it on the scale. :bs:

this is when you know the site has gotten a little too big  :chuckle:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
