After months of patiently waiting I finally got out Dec.1 to try for my cougar. After days of pounding lease roads and cutting older tracks we finally got the hounds on a fresh track, with me holding the leash on the lead dog let me tell you I had my hands full! That dog bounced me over dead fall, through small spruce and poplar trees and in between trees too close to be possible to pass through. We decided to let her go and she vanished within seconds, two hours and 5 kilometers later we had the cat up the tree. With a 20 yard shot with my Elite the cat fell dead from the tree and the rest is history.
