Very nice....  I would probablly sneak over give her a hug.

Wow! That type of situation hardly ever happens. Of all the cats that Ive seen over the years, none have ever been that close for more than a second and then they usually silently vanish. Congrats! Was this on huntable land???

Im not sure it wanted a hug mulehunter. Be happy to take pics of you trying to hug one though

Ouchfoss, yes it is on national forest land. Its in an area I have wanted to try calling at for a couple years now, I havent tried before though. I will be up there come fall!

I have seen the look on it's face up close and personal before. They have absolutely no fear. Fortunately, I was able to shot the one that was looking at me but I will never forget the confidence that I saw in it's eyes.

It does not look nervous just hungry. You shuld have had your buddy take off running down the road and got some live action camera shots? 
Cool pictures..

Awsome catch.  I have only seen about 6 cougars in the wild and only had one opportunity where I could have snapped shots.  That's a challenge.  They always see you, but most rarely see them.
