[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 2639136, member: 16869"] Thirty years ago I loaded up some 200gr partitions for my boss's .300 Weatherby he carried on an Idaho elk hunt. He was working a steep sidehill when he realized a big cat was on a limb uphill from him and less than 25 yards away. It's head was down on its paws as it inched down the limb directly toward him. He can testify to the fact that these cats are totally unimpressed by threatening gestures with a rifle. Said cat was DRT after a bullet hole in the forehead. Weighed up at 125 pounds. Rear core of the bullet was in the hindquarters. My boss called the Idaho Game & Fish Dept. and related the whole story. (Didn't have a cat tag.) They didn't charge him with anything, and said that if it had attacked he wouldn't have had a chance. I think they might have let him have the pelt but I don't remember that part for certain.
