Title: Mountain lion down
Post by: bowhunterforever on December 21, 2018, 05:22:16 PM
Was out predator hunting couple days ago and got lucky and came across this one. Cat is 6 1/2 feet and in the 120-130 lb range. We never weighed it so it could be a little heavier

If it was up to me - anyone who harvests a cat would get a free deer and free elk tag for any unit for the following year. And anyone who harvests a wolf would get $1,000.00 and a free deer and a free elk tag for any unit for the following year.
Too bad demoncrats are eradicating our ungulates at this time.
Too bad demoncrats have control at this time. Too bad so many hunters support demoncrats too.

 :yeah:

I'm all for giving out points or tags for doing a little predator control. Turn in 1 cougar, 2 coyotes and 1 bear = entiat tag.

Definitely a big cat, I could be underestimating its weight

I like the Earn a Buck/Bull idea.  Bring back bounties!

Really nice cat and great photos.  Since you were out calling coyotes, I'm curious what caliber/bullet did you use on him and how it performed.

I was actually packing my 270 along so it took him out quick, chest shot

Definitely a nice Tom I think your weight guesstimate is right on. It’s actually refreshing to see someone guess a realistic weight for a change  :tup: anyways a nice mature male cat well done!

That cat is beautiful, well done and thank you!
I am curious, what do most people do with their cats? Full taxi? Skull only? Anything creative with claws/paws? Pelt? I'd love to get a cat one-day (any day really, no rush) and am looking for ideas.

Another one bites the dust, nice successful hunt. It's nice when it all falls together. You just saved a deer a week.

I am getting a full mount and the skull euro mount. It just depends on the person I guess weather or not the mount it or not. Good luck on your cat quest  :tup:
