Not sure I've ever seen a long range cougar kill, so thought I might post this as it may be somewhat unique. This was a spike bull hunt (only legal elk, w/o lottery draw tag, if hunt eastern Washington state) but turned into a cougar hunt. This was a few miles back up in designated wilderness area. We could've harvested branch antlered bulls no problem, but... A week of hard hunting and didn't even see a spike. Lots of bulls and cows/calfs and a great area we love to be in. I still have a couple options to put some elk meat in the freezer, so am still hopeful, but it's been a great year already with a good bear up high, a decent blacktail buck and this big tom. Hope you guys r filling the freezer!
595 yds, -27 deg angle. Solo back in designated wilderness.
Close range blacktail.
