After a full day of touring the local watering holes, farms, and hunting camps we somehow found our way back to the "Popple Palace" just before dark.

When we arrived it looked like there was an auction going on! Word had spread like wildfire by then and there were many, many versions to the story. There were cars parked all over the place as people came from miles around to see the big cat I had shot.

A couple of old farts who lived about a mile away said they had seen the big cat a couple of days before and it was attacking their dogs!

For the record I used a 12ga Rem 870 with 28" modified choke with 1oz. Slugger @ 43yards...DRT! wink
