I thought I would post some pics. and a quick story to liven things up around here.
Rob Harris the hunter called his wife and asked her to put him in for the sportsman hunts. Rob had already harvested a Cougar before so she wasn't going to put him in but then got the feeling she should so she put him in and he drew the tag.
Rob then called one of his hunting partners to see if he knew anyone with hounds in the southern area. He put him in contact with my nephew who said he would help out. On his first trip down they were on Lions but not able to tree anything. We kept hunting the next few weeks and treed a decent Tom. Excited about what we had found we made plans for Rob to come down the next weekend.
We met up with Rob and his wife met first thing Saturday morning and we started looking for tracks 45 minutes later I cut what looked like a good Tom track. We rounded up the troops and turned out. We had a long rugged hike and worked hard but we have to give most of the credit to the dogs they were awesome. I will let the pics tell the rest of the story.
The Cat ended up measuring 7-1/2 feet with a green score of just under 16". There is a good possibility it will make the books.
