Yeah your porobably right....Does nayone in here primarily hunt cougars? I'd about give my right arm to kill one! Oh, and your wondering I'm left handed.  :biggrin:
If its Black, gray, red, or brown............ it's down! I don't discriminate.

Thomas,
You can probably get a cougar and still keep both arms.   :eyebrownod:   I guess I primarily hunt cougars, at least for the past few years.  I don't put a lot of time into it but what time I get that's my main target.  Deer and salmon and other critters distract me sometimes from cougars  :biggrin:  I'm opportunistic, waiting for right conditions or finding a kill etc. so may go a long time without actually making a calling stand for a cougar.   I've called 16 that I know about, seen four of those and my son has shot two of them.  Hounds are a lot more efficient than calling.

While we're speculating on the lion chase photos:  Is it a male or female cougar?  It looks like  a female to me.  The neck and body are narrow and svelte.  (That's a ten dollar word WAY beyond quad riding camo wearing hunters who eat red meat and know how to spit and to make yellow snow.)  :biggrin:   smiley added later just in case anyone did not realize this was intended as humor!

Also, the chase photo shows the cougar's rear end and no penis spot is showing, and from that angle it should show up clearly IMO.  It looks like a vulva spot under the tail as well.  I'd guess female but I've been known to be wrong maybe one or twice!

Edited to add:  I just examined the photo again.  It is possible that the bulge of haunch muscle is just barely covering the male spot but I don't think so.

Mr JohnP these are some amazing photos! First off THANK YOU for sharing them. They are - with everyones reply's very educational to me also. If the cougar had caught the Mulie shouldn't it also be wearing some blood in the second picture? If in fact it is the same cat?  Again thanks for sharing ...  :yoyo:

Yeah your probably right.....but the way I'm imagining it the Lion tore that mulie to shreds!
