I nailed this big cat over the weekend. We went out looking for yotes and ended up with this tom. We set up and started predator calling and a few minutes and I see some movement in the rocks about 250 yards away. The cat saw us at the same time and he was off to the races. I had a hurried shot while he was on the run. Hit him in the hind quarters blowing right on through. I could tell he was hit good as I spun him around. He disappeared In the rocks and couldn't see him. It was steep and around three feet of snow and took us a good hour or more to get up to where I hit him. Blood was all over.
. we followed the blood trail it seemed like he was just walking in circles. I go out on a rock out cropping and look down around 40 yards or so and see the cat down the hill from us. His ears were pinned back looking at us. I put the smack down on him. It was a cool feeling to finally fill a cougar tag after 21 years of hunting. Thanks guys for all your help and being a part of my hunt.
