I went in early 2014 and after 5 days we never cut a good track and the rain showed up. The guide asked if I could come back in late 2014 or early 2015 when the weather was right.
We found a few week old elk kill and his tracks so the race started, 4 miles later the Tom had killed a deer the day before and dragged it about 300 yards. He was guarding his deer when the dogs jumped him, he treed 3 different times then jumped off a 30' cliff. Then he went into a cave and that's were the adrenalin level maxed out, we pulled 3 dogs out of the hole so I could get in to take a shot. Me the Tom and one dog in the cave and I shot him at 3 feet! I can't wait to do it again

Wow, I'm sure that was exciting crawling into there.!!!! :tup:
-
Great Job!!!!!!
-
What did you shoot him with? I think I'd rather have a pistol at 3'! :chuckle:
-
Nice work! So he hooked you up since it didn't work out the first time?
-
It is quite a rush looking in to the eyes of an angry cat from that close. Got mine from 5 ft face to face.
Congrats!!

Shot it with the old 30-30.
Yes the guide was great on saying that I paid for the hunt so he would get me a cat.
-
That's a cool story, guide, and cat!

cool story good job

Mind sharing the name of the outfitter? What area of Colorado?
-
They guessed him at 140 lb. Figured he was only 4 years old so we will see on that when the tooth info comes back.
I was just east of Grand Junction the guides name is Fred Wallace of Cat Track Outfitters. They are great people and his dogs were very good also.
