Boxing Day Mountain Lion

[ursus]

Here is a photo of my mountain lion taken on Boxing Day 2006. It was one of the most exciting hunts I have been on, something that every hunter should experience at least once. This Tom cat measured 7'2 from nose to tail. The skull measured 14 3/8". It was a great way to end my 2006 season.:lol:

Awesome but I can't see the pic !

Where did you get him ?

[BCbillies]

The photo looked good while it was up! Although I haven't been on a cat hunt it is definitely on my list and I am sure the hunt is full of action and adrenelin. What did the cat weigh, how long was the hunt, was this your first cat hunt, etc.....

Congrats on harvesting a beautiful animal!

Nice cat! He has some great colouration, should make a nice mount. Are you planning a lifesize or a rug?

I have been close to many Cats, but this is my first. It was taken not too far from home. I figure he weighed around 175lb. I chased him on Dec 23rd, but couldn't catch up to him. Ofcourse the next two days were no-hunting days [unless I wanted to be single again:sad: ]. I was able to sneak out of the house super early on Boxing Day while the family and in-laws were fast asleep:smile: . We cut his tracks at about 9am and after an intense chase up and down some big country through 2 feet of snow, the Tom was mine at 2pm. Definately a hunt to remember! He will make a beauty life mount, and as SSS said, it makes great Sweet and Sour!
Thanks for the posting Marc!

Nice healthy looking cat. Looks like a really nice hide and would make a great rug. Congrats. John

[Spokerider]

Yup, great looking cat. Your dogs did their thing too. Kudos.

Not everyone get's a crack at one of those, you've garnered lot's of envy here.

If you get a chance, tell us a little more on the hounds and how you hunt them.
