Just one...The Couger. All the rest were with the biggest, most accurate rifle I could find..
The dogs treed the cat and He wasn't coming down. I stood under the tree and missed him twice before hitting him square.
Shooting an arrow up into the branches of a tree isn't as easy as one might think.
After the one kill I decided it wasn't as close to "fair chase" as I wished and would never hunt with dogs again.
I have seen 5 other Mountain Lions during a regular rifle hunt. I did shoot at one that was in full stride after a Whitetail Doe. None of us have any idea how fast a doe can run till you see one with a Mountain Lion right behind her. Of course I didn't have much chance of hitting him. That evening one of the other hunters told me he knew what I had shot at.. The doe ran by him a few moments after my shot, still with the big cat right behind her.
That was in Webb County, Texas..
