JJ ,we are all excited for you and your hunting partner. If I remember correctly the biggest one you had weighed in the past was either 187 or 188. That animal you took this weekend is a monster. Makes the 100# female that I took last February look puny (although I am very proud of her, being my first and she was called in). Anyway, well done and we look forward to hearing more. My buddy and I have been out a couple times recently, trying to call in a cougar but no luck yet. Do you think that the potential for that size cat is equally good in the Blue Mountains of SE WA state? Rufous.
