Here are some pics of a couple recent hunts. This was the fourth time I had run this cat over the course of the last month. Had him jumped on two of the other races and my dogs could not put him in a tree, lost him in the rocks both times. The second race ended in a giant boulder field with rocks as big as a house. When they finally treed him I had one hound 20 feet up the tree and could not find the cat. I ended up climbing 30 feet into the 60 foot spruce before I could see him. This wasn't the biggest tom I ever caught but it was one of the hardest. Didn't get any good pics of the cat but here are some of the hounds.
