fishn4kids, your link won't work.

Have a read HERE as to how post a picture.

[fishn4kids]

Thanks Surface. New to posting pictures and not sure how to get posted from my email. I forwarded the email to K Dawg to see if he could help me out.

fishn4kids, here you go.

So everyone, what would you do?

[grousehunter]

Unload the bird shot and put the slugs/buck shot in and hope for the best! That thing is ginormous Do you know how much it weighed? Normal sized mountain lions would scare me...that thing would have me shaking forsure.

[surewood]

Push down the fat guy next to you and run like the wind. If you just found yourself looking down at your stomache, then yes you are the fat guy.

[Roofer]

It would be one and only time for me to "shoot and ask questions later"!

Wow

[mnhunter 3815]

shoot 1st,then change my shorts, then ask ?'s rofl that thing is huge

[Bandit]

That cat would be slippin in so much [PoorWordUsage] he would never catch me.

[Hammer Handle]

I would look at him and send HIM running.

Told you I was ugly....

[koonie]

That thing is a monster. I highly doubt it was completely wild though. Release job? Still it would tear you up.

[lunker651]

Shoot, shovel and shut-up.

[CORL ICE CREW]

I'm sure it would'nt be any match for my matthews .......if i would'nt have a slight case of cat fever

[David Kasten]

A kid was killed in southern minnesota on the river 2 years ago by a cougar that followed the river up from somewhere down south. I'v seen cougar tracks while headed in from bowhunting. Scary

[MOBY RICHARD*]

I would do what ever Kitty told me to do...Apparently it told that man to Dance...reeeal slooowwww...

All I know is I ain't goin' to Missouri!!! Ok, since it's really from elsewhere, I ain't goin' to Washington instead!!!

Ccrrraaaaaapppp!!!!that's a biggun!!!!

[123fish]

Dckasten was that supposedly a wild cougar? I'm prertty sure it's never been reported that anyone has been killed by a wild cougar in Minnesota. Could be wrong though. That one in the picture certainly is huge if it isn't photo shopped.

[David Kasten]

google it. true story. there is a lot more cougars in minnesota then people know about. I do a lot of bow hunting all around northern minnesota and see track quite often.

[maros91]

Calmly walk up to him and box him on his ears and tell him I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

[fishn4kids]

I don't know about the weight or anything. But googled the story about it. The email i received said the cat was killed in Steeleville MO. After futher research, i found that the cat was actually killed around Seattle in 2002. So from what i have found, its not photoshopped. Wish i could find more info on the kitty but found nothing. will keep researching for it.

Got this info from Bonne and Crockett Trophy Watch.

This photo was posted on Trophy Watch in 2003 and again in 2004. It seems the photo has been regaining new life as the email rumor mill starts up again. A few years ago it was rumored to be from Kansas, Iowa, Texas, and Pennsylvania. This time it was taken by a deer hunter in Missouri while it was stalking him in his stand.

The truth is that it was taken in King County, Washington in December 2002 by Roy Hisler with one shot from a .30-06. His partner, Jim Hackewitz, used a varmint call to bring in the big cat – taken within 6 miles of Bellevue, Washington (a major suburb of Seattle). The cougar was accepted into the 25th Big Game Awards at 15-7/16.

[123fish]

Thanks for clearing that up. Do you know what it weighed? That thing is huge!!

[fishn4kids]

Thanks for the info. Never thought cougars would get that big. Hope i never run into one even half that size!!! Does B and C give a weight on the cat?

Duane

[surewood]

No they don't give the weight. You think they would on something so big.

[David Kasten]

I have a picture somewhere in my email i will try to dig up, big cougar staring threw a window at two kids playing with there toys, picture was taken in cambridge,MN. pretty freaky

[MOBY RICHARD*]

Got some good info on this cat. Weighed 190#, had an empty stomach. The Official measure of 15 7/16" is a combination of length of upper skull and widest part of skull.

The current world record is a 16 4/16" skull. They don't go by weight.

Here is a site that has some good info and corrections, and two links to other info: prairiestateoutdoors.com/index.php?/scattershooting/article/missouri_mountain_lion

There is an additional photo with the paw spread, and it looks wider than the mans head!

Another site with a 16" scored cougar, 218#. It looks more like a regular big cougar only wrinkly.

Dckasten, I got the same email saying the pictures were taken from a guy out at Martin, SD. Pictures taken from his kitchen onto his patio deck. It was watching his little kids on the kitchen floor!

I've still got the email but now way of posting the pics here. If someone wants I can fwd the email so they can put them up.

[woody1975]

I think the picture that "Moby Richard" is talking about is on the KQ website right now. Just sitting outside on the deck staring into the window. Says on there that it was taken in Ham Lake, MN ??????? Probably the same picture! Kinda freaky.

[Nate McVey]

Send it to me SnoManX and I will post it. I think I have the same picture somewhere, but it was taken in Bozeman. MT

I've seen that email for at least 3 years now and every time I see it there is a different location on it.
