It had been following, shadowing for a while up the hill from them. After a while, up-hill from them got real steep. The cat started coming down towards them and in front of them. He took a knee and it walked into the trail they were on, and boom...a 30-06 at 25 yards through the lungs and heart. She flipped up and landed on her back right where she had stood...not another twitch. I guess Cats don't ALWAYS land on their feet! :chuckle:

i dont think most females will go much over 100lbs :twocents:. seen it alot where people think they shot a big female but its really a male, its kinda hard to tell the sex and most wont know unless someone shows you
Really, less than 100 pounds for an adult female? I haven't seen a lot of them but the only ones I have seen under 100 pounds, way smaller than me at 165, were the four cubs with this one. I would have guessed 150+ on her. Am I way off??
I don't mean to threadjack...

Nice job! I saw a TON of cat sign in the 346 last week.
Not possible, there is only 2000 cats in the whole state. That means there cannot be a ton in one area. :chuckle:

that looks like a better cat, but i personally wouldnt put it at 150 though. heres a 130bs live wieght cat, im 6'3'' maybe 150 lol in the pic, but this kinda shows how big a cat like that is compared to full grown(atleast height wise) person
Still surprises me. That one looks like it would weigh as much as you. BTW, you must be pretty scrawny to be obly 150 at 6'3".... :chuckle:

Are cats balls that hard to find :dunno: I know young rabbits are a royal bitcch to sex but other than tiny kittens usually the balls are pretty easy to find :dunno:They are if you can't get the viewing right angle. The black spot is the givaway. I'm sure before the shot the hunter had no idea, but once it's dead it should be pretty easy to tell. :chuckle:

Their nuts are often kind-of internalized sometimes, and the sac can look like vulva. The black spot sometimes isn't apparent. It's often tricky.
That's a nice cat, but the head doesn't look huge, so it's possible it's a female.

The cat is 100% female, final official weight is 146 pounds. Nice to know there will be 50 more deer and elk a year in Carbanado!
:yeah:
Nice job 6x6!

I've seen a few on the scale myself. We've only weighed a couple females, didn't kill the others... one was 110# and 11 yrs old, the other was 6 yrs old and 95#...
Toms we've weighed (50-60??) are in the 110-186# range.. with anything over 155 being the exception...

186lbs is the biggest ever that I've seen. Another 160lb. Very few in the 150's, but several in the 140s. Avg male lion in my opinon, 120lbs. Avg female lion, 80lbs. Any male lion 145lbs and above is an exceptional lion in WA and any female over 90lbs is a damn nice female. I feel that the lions that are feeding on elk are prone to weigh more also.
Mt muley youv'e definitely got your facts straight, including the elk feeders seem to be bigger. Had two lions now people brought over and showed me their female that were toms. One was even sexed by a supposed expert lion hunter and he mis sexed it. Toms balls are about the size of a peanut (the edible part) and you have to dig into the fur to find them with no hanging sack for sure, just very small little lump you can't see , just have to feel. Seldom is a female over 110 and toms don't get much over 140 in areas they only feed on deer.
