Awesome story!  Congrats on getting one more fawn/calf killer off the mountain!

Gary
One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset

Great job getting rid of a predator! Might try talking the son into going back to that area incase there was two cats. Just never know.

It is better to be consistently incorrect than inconsistently correct...

Sarcasm: The ability to insult stupid people without them realizing it. 

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...

Sarcasm makes smart people laugh and stupid people mad.

Congrats.  Probably just improved your deer area with one less deer eater.
Cut em!

Congrats!   What sound was on the Foxpro?  I need to spend more time chasing cats.

That's secret stuff right there.
This is first animal I've called in with a FoxPro.
Dozens of sets with nothing last year.
I was starting to think it was junk,this was the first time using the decoy thing.

I was using cat nip hand call from primos.
With the bay bee cotton tail sound on the FoxPro.
Like said in my story both sounds very similar,my hand call is louder. I started out with that to reach the sound out as far as I could. Then just let the FoxPro do the work of long calling times.

Congrats!  With your mention of those retail stores we must live in the same vicinity.  I want to thank you for your service and duty in killing that deer eatin’ SOB.  Fox Pro might be a good Christmas gift for one of my children.  We have cats move into our property every year.

Ya I didn't realize I had to make an appointment with biologists.
So that's my fault.
Receptionist was very nice,made some calls.
And a wardon showed up and did it.
This was in Spokane.
I went out to post falls for an hour or so.
To cabelas and looked around ,they called me and I met the wardon there.

Another part of the reporting I don't understand.
So I did the hide seal.
Went online and reported online last nite.
It says you need to call a hotline and do hide seal.
But in the reg book it says you only need to call hotline if it's late season.
So I'm gonna call Monday and just make sure all my requirements have been met.
Or maybe I read something wrong. :dunno:

I think that has to do when quotas are getting close.  I think once sealed you are good, but what do I know

A lot of times predator hunting stuff will go on sale just after the first of the year.
The FoxPro I use was 100 bucks on sale.
After Christmas sale.
Was looking at cabelas yesterday basically the same model was 200 + .without the decoy jack. :yike:
