Finally Got My Kitty

[pugs]

LAST EDITED ON Feb-01-10 AT 01:31PM (MST)[p]Friday I finally killed my cat. After looking at 18 different lions this year I decided to tag out. I had some mixed emotions about it. It took my buddies 40 minutes before they were able to talk me into killing this cat. I have had a blast chasing lions, and bobs this year. I think the dogs are just getting into game shape. I hope the snow sticks around a while so we can get a few more put up. My wife thinks that my kitchen pass has expired, give it two or three days and she will be ready for me to go out again

I don't see why it took 40 mins to talk ya into that one thats one good lookin lion to me. Congrats That right there has got to be the most addicting thing in the world. I have been able to hunt with hounds the last two years and now I am looking at getting myself.

Is that cat missing a chunk of its tail. It looks like it

 

[pugs]

Yea, good observation the cat is missing about 14 inches of its tail. That is why it took me so long to decide if I wanted to tag out on him. We caught two cats this tom and one other mature female in the same canyon that are missing a foot off of their tails. I can not figure out what is going on. It is on private property with limited access. I have a few opinions as to how I think they could have lost their tails. My buddy asked if it could be genetics, I told him that I highly doubt it. I don know, what do you guys think?

I like to think the landowner got a little bit happy and had some fun with the cats.
