Cougar
« on: June 13, 2011, 01:57:14 PM »
I dont post on here much but couldnt resist sharing these pictures.  They are a bit blurry, I was trying to zoom and get some good closeups but they all turned out on the grainy/blurry side. 

I was over on the peninsula this weekend so I took my my buddy up some FS roads to show him where I used to hunt.  I saw this cougar cross the road and go down the hill so I grabbed my camera and we jumped out of the truck to try and get some pics.  It stood about 30 yards down the hill watching us for literally a few minutes while I was taking pictures.  Finally it decided to move on and slowly walked away.  It didnt have the slightest worry that I was there, even took a couple steps towards us at one point.

Enjoy!

Good pictures!

Cool photos to say the least! It is definitely an adrenaline rush to be close to big cats that often watches us, but rarely detected or photographed..
