[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 3071021, member: 21869"] Its a sad story.Im surprised them being outdoorsman, not armed some how.I know of probably 1/2 dozen or more cases of friends being stalked or attacked.Right here where I live, but where in cat country.Buddy and I where bowhunting in ID,he cow called a cat in that got to 9 yrds, then laid its ears back ,crouching low.Thats when he sent a arrow at it.We saw a warden few days later and informed him.He said he had lot bigger problems then to go look for a maybe wounded cat.On way home my wife informed me, that my then 12 year old son and friend where stalked by a cat, behind my place.They where bow hunting ,hiking.He rattled cat in,wouldnt scare off, he shot at it with bow.Turns out he missed, then on skid row it approached again, my son then shot it in face with a Benjamin 22 pellet gun that use to be mine .Guy I worked with was hunting deer, walking distance from his house, that's on a small ridge in country 3-4 miles from .He heard something and a cat was full charge.He spun and shot from hip, killing 155# male.This was a tough ol guy that I built homes with, big ol dip in his lip and spent his early years dropping monster trees straight into ocean in AK,where it was so steep he had to spring board them.That buddy in first part got stalked again, but on year he cut track deer hunting and stalked one down himself, as you can get over counter general tag here.I guy my mason worked with shot one off his backpack, almost shooting himself.While back I had one circle me, I yelled to scare it off,raising arms etc.Its snarled at me, from 50 yrds,then dropped downwind came at me. This season at end which is late muzzle loader, I was on ridge and cut small cat track, later down ridge mile further cut a large cat track.I ran into a cat hunter up there later, they had taken 9 cats for season.He expressed where he had general been running's good sized portion of our area and said there where a 100 cats in that area.I had been hunting a special draw area, bow not known for bears.So I was saving the weight and not packing.Then I started seeing cat tracks, and deer parts way to often.
