First Trad Gear Critter
Hey it ain't a monster, but a mature cat never less. And I will only refer to this cat as a true mountain lion due to the nature of the chase and terrain. I'm keeping this short. No driving looking for tracks, just us with packs on, dogs off the leash the whole time and some extreme hiking. We saved a few sheep taking this cat in fact we saw a group of about 10 or so sheep. My first trad gear kill taken Dec. 26th 2014. AWSOME!!!

That i believe is the first cat pic I've ever seen of a person with traditional gear. Truly special. Great to see.

It's not a longbow, what's wrong with a longbow, it's not an atlatl, what wrong with an atlatl? It's not a spear, what wrong with a spear? It's not a hand held knife. What's wrong with a knife? It's not your bare hands......

Two arrows, both broadside. I know it looks like a frontal but my second shot I only had head, neck and just barely front shoulder. I put the second arrow right through the shoulder and it exited out behind the opposite leg. 15yrds max.
