Those pics of a 145# cat really put into perspective how big the BIG ones are.I can’t imagine what a 180 pound plus cat would be like.And how many of those 180 pound cats on the net are actually 140-150 cause that is certainly a big mature tom, looks huge in that second pic. Congrats to both of you that is absolutely awesome!! Dandy cat and cool way to hunt himThey arent all 170-180?

Great story, that would have been very exciting. I was wondering what happened when your friend had the cat at ten yards and didn't take a shot at that time? Was he just wanting to let you have the first shot?
Well Done! Was like reading a Jim Corbett story about tiger hunting. I for some reason thought all dead cats were "almost 200 lb" and all killed bears were about "300 lb". sarcI bet a lot of animals we like to chase were saved by your perseverance and dedication to go after one animal. And thanks for reminding us that being a good neighbor can pay off in unexpected ways.

I was wondering what happened when your friend had the cat at ten yards and didn't take a shot at that time? Was he just wanting to let you have the first shot?So the plan was for me to shoot first, right up until the cat was ten yards above him, then it was shoot now and shoot a lot but before he could get the gun up the cat was going away and figured I would have a better shot.I should have killed this sucker with my shot but I’m going to be honest when I saw how close it had been to him and how big it was compared to him I got a little rattled.Once it was wounded in the thick stuff I would have preferred to switch positions and go in after the cat but there was too much opportunity for something to go haywire in the switch. I told him if he had a shot to shoot and shoot a lot which he did.He tagged the cat since he killed it. We are going in together on the mount and putting it on the wall at my cabin next to my raffle elk.
