 SO much fun! I've got some great video on youtube of me releasing the one I caught. Once in a lifetime experience!

Nice catch ! They always just flip my cages and bite the wire up
Good job you got any videos ?
this one bit the wire up from the inside. I do have a few videos of it

Wow!
That would get your blood going!

The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

I'm guessing there was a fair bit of anticipation in the air as you opened the door to release, thanks for sharing!

Very cool!!! Did the cat flat cheese it out of there when the door was open? Or did he take his time and stop and look back?
