Thought I would share this! I have been running a trap line this year, and while out and about checking traps, I was seeing a lot of cougar tracks. I purchased an over the counter harvest objective tag for cougar, because well... ya never know.. Last week after checking traps, I thought while I was out, I might try to do a little calling. After setting up, and running the Foxpro for not even a min, To my amazement and total suprise, this cougar come slinking out, putting the sneak on my call!! I had to have set up right on top of her, I shot her at 15yrds away!!! First cougar I have ever gotten, and as far as I know, Kinda like hitting the lottery!!!!

oh boy, Karl vs Goofy...this could be the start to something good.

Goofy simply likes to pick nits -- sort of like an oxpecker.

Now days, I only 'pick nits' when posters, post,
Uninformed, uneducated, posts..........

Obviously Karl, you have not been around very many Mt lions.
Your posts about cats look like 'Californian' rhetoric' .

That is a wild story to tell! Great work, and saved a couple deer I'm sure from the critter.

Now, what caliber of gun did you shoot it with? Looks like it did the job and then some.:mrgreen:
