Wish mine went that smooth. Dropped at 8:00 and caught her at 2:45, guy in the truck seen him cross twice. Just couldn't put enough pressure on him I guess.

Budd,It was actually a pretty good run.The dogs really pushed the track without a lot of losses. They had it caught once under a blow down,then it made a couple small circles before climbing.

Here is one my buddy from New Hampshire killed Monday. Dogs were my male Luke and my female Patty. We put down on him at 11:30 and had him caught by 12:15. I guess everyone gets lucky once in awhile.

Awsome cats guys. Budd we have snow and This was one of our hunts last week. Cat got down into these rocks under a ledge and that was the end of that 45 min from truck to rocks. Ran another one later that didnt work out. We found a spot that had cat track ontop of cat track and dogs had a hard time with it. Later we found out there was a bait there and that was what was drawing all the cats in. I dont know if the dogs couldnt stick to just one track or kept jumping track. Who knows.

This is Corey with KD behind him and Jeff tellin us that the cat is under these rocks and we can kiss his hairy butt if we think he is going in after it!!!

Great photos and stories guys :wink:

Well since this seems like the thread to read and share I thought I would contribute too.

My buddy Jim cut both a lion and bobcat in the same area on the same day :wink:

We did the lion first and then ran the bobcat.

Jim put down Lobo and I put down Jazz both walkers. They both nit picked it for a bit over an hour but they were moving it pretty good. We seen them cross one logging operation and then start to move straight up the drainage.

They put out just enough noise for us to have direction but not too much so not to get the bob running out infront of them. They ran it for almost 2 hours before they settled in.
