great color on this cat.  think of the deer  you saved.  They say a cat needs a deer a week.  that is 52 deer by next year that will still be arou nd.  Maybe in 5  years one of them will be a big hog that will show up here as a massive buck.

Good job.

Mike I love it when a plan comes together. I just got back home a couple days ago from ID/UT and just now found your story. Glad you had a good time with Brian and congrats on a fine cat. I will get a lion video made up after my season ends and send you a copy.

If you don't mind I would like to post your footage on my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/BearpawOutfitters and your story and pics on my website http://bearpawoutfitters.com/washington_cougar_hunting.html, let me know if that is OK.

Hey, be sure and get your skull scored, good chance he will make P&Y. If you need to know where to take it to get scored, let me know, I can advise you of someone to score it.

Preparation of your skull is important too, it must be clean when you have it scored, I would advise having it cleaned by beetles, do not boil it, that can cause it to shrink up to 1/4 inch, which is enough shrinkage to cause it to place much lower or maybe even not make the book. After the required 60 day drying period from the kill date, get it measured as soon as possible as skulls continue to shrink a small amount over time. Please let me know how it scores.

Again congrats on a great cat, and we all hope to see you again for another hunt someday.

Congrats.  Great pics, great story, great video.  Thanks for sharing.  I don't know that I would be that cool on the video.  I would be running around acting like a little kid.  Absolutely awesome.

Dale-  Go ahead and put the video and everything on your sites  , as for the skull....  I hope he didn't boil it!!! I planned on getting it scored and failed to mention that to him, I'm sure it's already done. I will find out tomorrow how it was done and will start looking for someone to score it once the 60 days is up. If I can't find someone on this side I'll get ahold of ya. Thanks again for such an amazing and memorable hunt!!!

Thanks for all the great comments from everyone on the site!!!

Here's a couple pics of us packing him out
