That is the end of a great day out in those pics.
Did you have to run the cat far before treeing?

We spent from 5am till 11am crisscrossing woodblocks looking for fresh tracks to try and figure out which one he was still in before releasing the hounds.Unusual but they had him treed within 20 minutes.I suspect he had a gut full of venison /porcupine that cuts down on the pursuit somewhat.Harold

Congratulations to your son for this huge beast. In addition it is really important to share such experiences with one's son! Regards. Louis

Thought your son had scored a different sort of cougar when I first read the title of your post

Well the 6 hours of figuring out the maze of tracks should count for something? Sometimes the stars just align and it all works out ...PS the tail on a cat at the base is coke can size in diameter[think kangaroo] and must act as a balancing rudder when on the fly...heavily muscled.....Harold

That's as big a cat as I have seen. Look at the front paw on this one.
