Thanks everyone!
Real cool story. Congrats. Never crockpotted a skull. Post pics of that when done please.
Will do. Ever since the wife got an Instapot the crock pot has been available. I've done a few but it is limited to what fits in the pot. They do a great job of low and slow. Keeps me from over cooking/boiling skulls which is super lame.
Congratulations No Doubt ! !
I’m glad it worked out well for you but.... sounded like it could have turned out
much diff & for worse.
A serious question. Now, will you choose that gun & load on purpose to call
Mtn Lion ?
NO criticism I promise. I would choose something bigger.

Jerry, I wouldn't reach for the 10.5" 223 for mountain lion but if that is all I have I'm not passing
My 12.5" Grendel would probably get the nod if I was calling specifically for lion or wolf.
I've killed a fair amount of critters with a 223 and have confidence in it. I could have shot her a few inches farther forward and probably had a quicker death. I was ~4" inches behind the shoulder instead of tucked next to it. Caught the back of the lungs instead of the center. She only went ~75 yards.
Wow, great hunt but I don't think I want to hear anything breathing that I can't see!!
It was not a comfortable situation and I was glad I was not alone!!
