Great story and better ending. I would love to call one in and may bug you when the time comes. I had the same kinda thing happen to me in Southern Colorado as me and my hunting partner were walking up a trail. Decided to walk back 300 or so yards and wait for sunset and work back down. We were both just sitting there and I told him I was going to go check this opening behind us for some sign. I didn't get 30 feet when a flash came out of the brush and stopped crouched down 20 feet in front of me. I was already at shooting position and it was a stare down for 6-7 seconds. You are right, it seemed like a minute or two. I guess I finally coerced the cat to move on. I must not of looked too appealing! That damn cat probably was following us up and back and I surprised it. Wish I had a tag in hand!!! Great job!
