[Hillbilly270]

this thing is on a one way ticket to challenge the 550 inch selway elk for biggest bunch of bs ever circulated throughout hunting forums and emails. get REAL a 300lb COUGAR?

If I saw a 300# cougar, first, i'd $#!t myself, then I'd unload my gun, and then my partners gun as fast as I could, then run... Fast

Funny how the internet promotes such BS. My dad was showing me an email he got jsut the other day about a grizzly that got hit and killed by a Harley. As soon as I saw the pictures I knew instantly it was a lie even though the pics were real. Originally the bear had been hit by a semi in montana and the original pictures had circulated sometime this past year.

I was informed it was 300+ lbs as well and it came from a no BS hunter who I'm guessing was fed BS themself.

Either way that is one BIG cat

Exactly!!

Its funny how this story about a HUGE cougar is getting around. Yesterday, I stopped at the gas station and this guy that I know comes up to me says he just got and email the other day showing pics of a MONSTER 325 lb. cougar killed in eastern washington and he just cant believe how big it is! 

[Gobble Gobble]

So what was the actual weight of brute?

[Hillbilly270]

130 to 140

I had a patient the other day bring in this same picture and shows it to me.  Say's he was sent the pic by his cousin who was a friend of the guy who killed it.  Look at this monster he says, weighed in at 317lbs.  I just smiled and said WOW, big cat.   I saw it like a month ago or so on here and recognized it as the 130-140lb Cat the guy who killed it said it was.
