Post by: bowhuntin on December 12, 2008, 02:34:46 AM: i posted a picture of this cat a while back, not sure what happened to the thread. I think I got it off the boone and crockett website.

Running into a cat this size would definitely make me nervous.

Post by: @RCHER on December 12, 2008, 02:58:16 PM: That's right, Doublelung. The hunter is Jim Hackiewicz of Custom Osteo. He used to split his time between the skull/skeleton cleaning service company and being as a PH in Africa. He cleaned a bear skull for me in 2000 and now spends most of his time in Africa. Not sure if he still offers osteo services.

He's a moderator on Jesse's Hunting and Outdoors if you want to contact him about it.

Big cat fo shizzle

Post by: Moose Eyes on December 14, 2008, 02:38:59 PM: Jim used to live in North Bend but recently moved to the east side. If I recall, he was not the person who shot the animal but a friend of his did. The animal was shot out of state, I believe.

No, it was shot close to North Bend by a hunter with Jim.

I bought something from Jim before he moved from North Bend. I also heard the story about a cougar he killed right at his house in North Bend up close and personal. :o

Post by: agchawk on December 14, 2008, 03:54:02 PM: According to the Boone and Crockett website, the cat was harvested by Ron Hisler of Duval, WA and had an official entry score of 15-7/16.

The story I read stated that Jim called it in to Ron Hisler using a pred call and Mr. Hisler dropped the big cat.

Yep, you are correct! Jim just sent me an e-mail confirming it was shot near North Bend.
