Badass picture DH, that's not the first rodeo I've heard of with dogs catching cats out in the open... pretty gruesome what can happen after! It's hard to tell from the photo- is that a female or a Tom?
I should have been more clear on what I meant by "quite a fugging ways"... I've seen a handful of elk and deer each go 300-400 yards uphill, downhill, and sideways after solid lung shots.... but some of them I'd attribute to poor bullet performance as much as anything else. I have definitely become a fan of shoulder shots, though.
Off to AK Friday morning....
