Excellent!!! Great way to start the day!

Dream scenario! 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 him

Nicely done!  Nice cat!  Attempted that one time but the cat never treed up or bedded - just kept going.  Congratulations!

Oh wow! That is a beast and I can only imagine how fun that hunt was. Great job!

Congrats!  And ty for taking the time to share.  Was curious where the cat was hit when you shot it that it didn't expire?

Couple pics of me with cat on my shoulders. I’m 5’9” 175 pounds. My buddy hugging the cat is 6’1”.

Send your story in to Bugle or Outdoor Life. Had me on the edge! Great cat.

Because it turned into a real rodeo after it bed down it’s tough to tell. I think I hit it in the right rear knee.  That bone was KO’d.  I was shooting a 300 win mag, just enough gun for the job it’s possible that the concussion of it hitting the cliff it’s just scared the crap out of the cat. My buddy shot it bedded and then twice as it was running at him so there are holes in and out of  front to back.

I’m just glad it’s dead. A wounded cat is no joke. I’m really glad it walked away from my buddy versus pouncing on him from the cliff it was hiding in above him.

Totally agree with Piano.  Would be a great contribution to the outdoor magazines. 

Some cats do achieve awesome size, like the 204 pound tom that WDFW biologists collared a few years ago.  I think it was somewhere in northeast WA.  But that's probably pretty uncommon.

Again, congrats to Rainier10 on a real feat.

Congratulations and thank you, you saved a lot of deer and elk👍

Great story, once again, thank you.
