Nice job! I was thinking the other day, how cool would it be to have extra points or something for people who submit a cougar. You would encourage predator control and there would be a reward for people's efforts via extra drawing points! Once again, nice job on the predator control!

Gratz!

Sounds a lot like my first time with a brand new fox pro, set it up and called in a big cat only I didn't get to shoot it

then I made 100 stands after that and nothing  :chuckle:

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Thanks guys.
I will admit pretty lucky,first predator set of the year.
Used 243 win ,savage axis that I've been carrying for a truck gun. My beater gun.
Took a bear and a cougar this year with it.

Those hornady 103 grain eldx .
I've been super impressed this year,hornady did a good job making those bullets for hunters.

Cougar was in that pounce position when I shot.
Bullet went through the neck,into the shoulder ,and I found a chunk of bullet under the hide .
I'll clean that up later and post a pic.

Thanks again for all the positive feed back.
Thank you.👍

I'm sure I'll take the boy out and get skunked on a few sets it's coming.
He still has a cougar tag.
Small game for some bobcat
And a turkey tag.
So I'm gonna keep trying to fill tags.
