Yes but a, too old and poor to be wanted by them.
When I DID have the chance decades ago I was stupid and didn't take it. Not enough confidence in myself to make such a move is something I will regret until I die.
Back on topic that is one heck of a Cat beautiful in it's own way but as I know around a farm or ranch it cannot be.
I'm glad everyone is enjoying the pic of the cat, I thought he was a bruiser as well, but apparently this is the norm for central Wyoming's hilly terrain. Jess and her husband run a small herd of cattle, so with that, the cats can be an issue. I remember, way back, riding horseback and coming up on a slaughtered cow that a mountain lion got to...horse was wanting nothing to do with the entire thing and just wanted to bug out. I never saw the cat, but the hair was up on the back of my neck...felt like I was being watched. Had to slowly and carefully leave that area until I could a couple of the ranch hands back up with truck to move the carcass to a less travel traveled area.
At any rate, I will point out that the dog in the pic was not used to hunt the cat, just to track him down. Jess got a good shot around sunset, and saw him hunch up, but he didn't go down right away. Wisely, her and her husband didn't want to go in the brush after dark for a potentially wounded cat. They went and called a neighbor (the older gentleman in the photo) that night who had tracking dogs to find it the following day. As you can see from the photo, the cat didn't suffer too long; both lungs were punched and he was blowing blood out of his nose as he went down.
With the reduction in hunting, the reintroduction of wolves and the controlling of hunting the bigger predators, we're starting to see problems arising. Here in California, it is becoming more and more common to hear of mountain lion attacks (illegal to hunt them here)....
At any rate, I digress. I just wanted to share a picture and show some pride in a former friend, Marine, fellow shooter and PMI.

Well done that girl its huge, and at the same time a real pity such a thing of beauty.
If only they crept around the woods in the UK, a monster that size would be a great
deterent for Pikey creepers on the Night Shift..!

Just got the final update on that cat...weighed in at 179.5lbs at the taxidermist's. Almost as much as me (short 20 lbs)...crikey.
Oh, and to sir the pot, it was shot with a .243 Win Model 70 Featherweight.
The ladies using a" Lady gun "know exactly where to put the shot, & She looks just like I would in the smile dept!
