Post by: Beerman17 on February 07, 2014, 07:12:56 PM: I got him in Snoqualmie Hancock forest. my weapon of choice was a terrible choice but shot placement worked out. wish I had something smaller but the 30-06 with a 165 grain did the job with a minor entrance and exit. the cat is at cedar river taxidermy in Cumberland and Im doing a life size mount.
