Title: Here kitty kitty 2009 cat with bow
Post by: buck man on February 10, 2011, 07:46:03 PM: Since I have lots of pics not yet posted just figured I share one. On nov. 30 2009 I was in my stand waiting for a 175" buck that we had several pics of ( my bro in law shot it this last dec. see pics by beeman) and had not been seeing anything. Then at about 8 am i caught movement and saw this kitty hunting the same deer that I was. After waiting for the right moment I was able to draw and shot her with my hoyt katera at 21 yards! She only ran 30 yards and piled up. She was mature at 8 years and and was just shy of 120# and 6' 7" long. The biologist said it was one of the bigger females he had seen. She had no kittens. 8)

Yep I did a dorsal skinning job and it is with a family taxedermist who is doing a full body resting log mount. I also boned out the hams took the back strap and a couple shoulder roasts. :drool: She was real good eating.

Oh...there are so many things this old Sailor could say about the first comment, but this being a family place I will be good.

As for the second comment, I haven't cougar meat but the folks I work with compare it to pork.

BTW, nice kitty, congrats. Did you get the deer too?

nope didn't get deer just a huge adrenal rush. Best one yet! Shook for half hour afterwords. Better than bungee jumping!

Post by: Sumpnneedskillin on February 11, 2011, 01:45:36 PM: I know the adrenalin rush from arrowing a deer. I can only imagine what arrowing a huge cat like that must be like. Please post the mount pics when she's done.
