Hi All! New to the forum, but saw this photo section and figured I'd post up my cat from this past December I got with Fred Wallace of Cat Track Outfitters in CO. While its not the monster tom of my dreams, its a big female, and was an AWESOME, HARD hunt!

Holy COW!!! That thing is huge! Good job! Story behind the long hunt?
There comes a time when honest debate, serious diplomatic efforts, and logical arguments have been exhausted and only men and women willing to take up arms against evil will suffice to save the freedom of a nation or continent.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. A couple of you asked about the story...It was a tough hunt for a flatlander like me. Anyone that thinks these hunts are a cinch because you use dogs is crazy. 10,000 ft elevation in the snow is tough to maneuver in. We treed a female the 1st day within about 5 minutes of cuttin the dogs loose, we even saw her get jumped by the dogs and tree. I passed her up in hopes of the big tom. Chased a couple more tracks over the next 2 days on horseback and treed the one in the pic, I had my heart set on a tom but they said she was a BIG female and that I better take the shot. By that time I didn't need to be convinced too much because I was so physically exhausted from the past 2 1/2 days of hiking and sore-assed from the horses. I really don't know if I could have made it another 2 full days. Anyway a buddy that was with me filmed it, problem is that he was so exhausted too, he could barely keep the camera up. However since I own a video production company, I had one of my guys cut a little video together.A talented editor can make a palette of crappy video look decent if he's given enough time and thats exactly what he did. He went a little over dramatic with the music, but I think its pretty funny. If you want to take a watch, click the link below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otx0k4TT6aI
