Title: Puddy Cat...
Post by: Hornseeker on May 28, 2010, 05:50:44 AM: Was out a while back when I saw this:

So I followed it and found this:

So.... what else would I do, but hang a cam.... :dunno:
And get these... Not the best, but cool...my first lion on cam....

OH.....and this my friends.... "Is the Cats Ass" :chuckle:

Post by: lilswab on May 28, 2010, 06:27:15 AM: Hornseeker. What's the full story on this? Did you run across the drag marks while hiking, hunting, scouting? What were you thinking when you saw the drag marks? Thanks for the post. Good work :tup:

Post by: Hornseeker on May 28, 2010, 10:23:01 AM: I was walking around looking for sheds...when yeah...i stumbled on the drag mark... took me about 1.2 seconds to realize what it was...then while following it I saw a track or two so knew for sure.

I had to follow it about 250 yards...through head hi sage brush and big, bushy juniper...was a tiny bit nervous, but not enough to worry much. I actually tracked it the wrong way first and found where the kill took place...then tracked it back, "just" past where I started...and found the half buried kill....

Watched my back pretty good while hanging the cam, but having been in the kitty woods forever and ever and have never had a prob.... wasn't too worried.... but "aware" nonetheless! :chuckle:

Post by: lilswab on May 28, 2010, 10:39:53 AM: Thanks for sharing. I'm sure all of us the spend any amount of time hanging out in the wilderness have been close to a cat. I would have to check things out like you did. I like that you had enough wits about you to hang a trail cam!

I dont doubt what you are saying....but as luck would have it...some guys from work found ANOTHER fresh kill a week ago and we hung a cam up there! :IBCOOL: SO...hopefully more pics to come!!! :dunno:

Post by: fishcrazy on May 28, 2010, 08:30:46 PM: Should have put a grenade under the kill for the kitty when it came back. Would have made a cool trail cam video.
