My step-dad, Frank, had the opportunity to go to New Mexico last week for a mountain lion hunt. He had been waiting and waiting for the phone call, as they had to wait for it to snow in order to track the cats. He finally got the call the day after Christmas and he made the drive to New Mexico where it was freezing cold. The first day of the hunt they saw nothing. It was the second day where all the fun was had. There were 4 dogs that tracked the cat by smelling a paw print. Within 20 minutes, the cat was found and cornered in a tree. The dogs and the guide waited for Frank to climb the
mountain, which he says took him 45 minutes. You can see from the pictures that his cheeks are all red...he looks tired. He finally made it to 'The Tree' and waited for the signal. The next thing he knows, he's trying to hold up this 180 pound cat. It's a CAT. It's bigger than he is. Can you imagine being out on a mountain, in the middle of nowhere, hunting a cat only to find that the cat has been hunting you? That thing could eat me whole! It could crush me with a paw. Yikes! Congratulations, Frank! Glad you made it back without freezing!

That's just amazing. I am surprised the cat didn't know it could take those dogs if it tried.
Giant Cats and giant snakes! Do you have good life insurance on your male family members?
