Mexican Standoff With a Mountain Lion

[Gerald Martin]

Ding, Ding, Ding!!! I think we have a winner!

Nice touch with the little bit of snow on the back of your shirt from where you were bending over when you placed the cat. The snow on the cat really does help the realism.

Nice taxidermy work!!

Nathan, the snow on my back was from the near disembowelment I almost endured before I picked up the stick. Good thing the blue minivan careening off the interstate kept his attention long enough for me to get to my feet!

let's see not April 1st. Looks like he might of already ate someone. Man tracks right up to the beast.

Started having doubts after reading this and taking another look.

I think they were hired for shooting the CSEH competition back in 09?

It's quickly turning into the thread of the year but not for the content or picture, Mr. Hoxe!!

Don't you know anything? Itsa Hoxe is not a guy. She is a smoking hot member of the Swedish Bikini Team, and was my prom date in high school.

Well that pic may be a hoax but this one definitely isn't!

Holy moly. Good thing your pal had the presents of mind to pull a camera. I probably would have pulled my pistol.

Well that pic may be a hoax but this one definitely isn't!

And the plot twists.

Props to the taxidermist. Reminds me of those old taxidermy commercials where everything is fake. Well played Gerald!

And the plot twists.

I'm not sure what was going on! I opened HuntTalk to see the story and the it popped up if I planned on buying KY. It wasn't that good of a story

Awesome picture - I love the smug look on the cat's face.

The last thing I would be worried about in that moment is finding the camera to get a picture.

Hell of a pic though.

 

[coppermushroom]

Dammit. I like to think of myself as observant but bombed this test.

Looks like my nerves fared better from the encounter than the cat. I must have been so scary that he was instantly petrified. I felt sorry for him so I brought him home to live with me till he recovers. Kudos to Rick for another fine mount.
