[QUOTE="stonehands1, post: 1068276, member: 88929"] Few years ago my buddy and I were scouting out some tree stand locations on the back of his dad's property. It's a wooded plateau area at the base of the mountain. We climbed through the blackberries and brush up the side of the hill. As we hit the tree line about half way up he draws his pistol rapidly. I ask him what the heck he's doing and with wide eyes he replies ca ca cat. We have never seen one before and here is one looking him in the eyes at about 15 feet away. It turned and ran off and I didn't even get to see it. We climbed up to where the cat was standing on the skidder road. I began looking for tracks and into the trees in the direction the cat ran off with no luck. Meanwhile buddy is on the phone calling his dad to tell him about it while continuing to walk up the skidder road. I was lingering behind (about 30 feet) still bummed because I didn't get to see it and looking for tracks. Movement catches my eye about 15 feet to the left of my buddy and to my surprise the cat is sneaking around a tree right above my buddy. At first I was like cool there it is (first time I seen a cat and all) then the reality of the situation hits. It was just like watching a house cat hunt a mouse in the grass. As soon as the cat crouched, pinned it's ears, and curled it's tale up I knew what was coming next. Everything went quiet and into to slow motion as I quickly drew my 1911 and put one in his shoulder. The cat jump straight up (just like whitetail do) came down and jump straight in the direction of my buddy. I kept the sights on him the whole time and when he hit the road about 5 feet from my buddy I put another one in him. This round hit home about an inch from the first one and sent the cat spinning circles on the ground. I ran up to the cat and put one in his head that ended the excitement. I'm sure you can imagine my buddies surprise (who was still on the phone and had his back to me when the shooting started) when he turned around to see a cat spinning circles within 5 feet of him. It was over so fast I hardly remember thinking about it. Funny how we go Into automatic mode when we find ourselves in these situations. [/QUOTE]
