My hunting partner and his step-son went out last night looking for a bear. My partner Chad got out of the truck and walked to a cliff to glass below. Donny (the boy) was still getting his gear together at the truck. He started hissing to Chad and pointing into the brush. Chad could not see what he was pointing at but Donny raised his gun and said he was going to shoot "it". After the shot Chad ran up to him and saw something flopping around in the brush.
He went in and found a HUGE cougar. Donny said he heard it hiss at him. He looked up to see it looking right at him at 15 yards. It stood its ground hissing at him. He shot it right under the chin. He said it was about 180 lbs. I saw it after it was gutted. It was enormous, although it was a female. But a really large one. I would say probably 160 lbs though. He could not pick it up off the ground. They took some photos. I will try to post them if I can get them.
It was taken in the Peaches Ridge area.
