That is an awesome Capture! Congrats to you my Friend! All of my life I have been wanting to capture a Cougar with a camera, but I've never been in the right place at the right time. :(
Expensive camera equipment is really nice to have and use, but Virtually Any Camera is capable of taking amazing photos or capturing the moment. You did darned good my friend and should be proud of yourself!

.....and to catch it live vs trail cam....that HAD to have been quite a thrill!!
don't get me wrong, i love trail cam pics...very addictive.
but, to be there in the moment is a whole different kind of excitement :)

Not a winner but I will share anyway. Late season scrape.
It is always fun to see evidence where they have been at different times of the year.
