Default Sometimes your the hunted......

Whoa..... just got back from rattling whitetails....

The boy and I were set up this evening 1/2 way up the mountain. Good whitetail sign all over..
I spot 2 deer stopped and an alert looking our way at about 200 yards. I whisper to my boy to scope them out and see if ones a buck or if a buck is close by.

I’m trying to find the deer in my scope as I put down the Binos ... can’t find em.
I look over at my boy and he’s tracking them in his scope...
“Buck or does ??” I hiss....
He gives me a look like I’m nuts....


Cougar.

I switch to the binos a s sure enough. Mid sized cougar bee lining right to us looking for the fighting bucks. He turns and heads down wind 200 yards using the small landforms as cover.... we watch him turn and head uphill towards us (but down wind)....

We decide to bug out after we loose him above us.

No deer tonight. But what a sight to see.



It’s a special feeling to know for sure that your NOT the apex predator out there.

No pics.... too busy hangin onto the rifle.
