Shot another one the same year at 27 yards with a 870 wingmaster, 12 gauge 3” mag #2 shot. I shot, you could see the pattern hit his shoulder, he jumped 6’ straight up in the air, twisting and legs flying, hit the ground and never seen him again. Waist/chest high sword ferns and salal brush. Sure he died a long slow death, still makes me sick to think about it. I just laugh when folks talk about how “easy” mountain lions are to kill. They may be sittin in a tree shot in the lungs with a small caliber. The one on my wall soaked up some lead, pretty dicey follow up job. Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.

Anyhow, he says they always follow the elk herds, find elk, a lion will usually be close by. 👍 Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy.

Never thought I see thicker stuff than in the Coastal south-east but you folks take the prize. The one that took a load of #2, cat was probably less 100 yards away when likely died. I've seen a few videos of cat shot on the ground and they do usually jump six feet in the air, bobcat will go airborne when shot w/a bow or rimfire. I follow a lad on Utube NW Wild and Free, they called in and killed a ML, 6.5 creedmoor to the chest, other members show up to help find it, 2-3 of them popping it at close range and it would run to another thick spot. They find it pop it again and off it would go , tough ass critter. NO Creedmoor jokes allowed!!! PRESIDENT TRUMP 2024/2028 !!!!!!!!!!
