Dave, what do these cats weigh?? It's incredible that you have so many huge dominant males within your hunting area!

Weight is maybe not the 'best' yardstick as a hungry tom on a 4 day feed can pick up some pounds. But.. we have killed several Super Cat's, what we call a 160 + at Nuanetsi. Cats tend to be a bit smaller in the valley, but we have killed 16+ inch skulls there. I killed a 160 lb cat at Nuenetsi, that had a smaller skull than a valley cat I killed a few years back that I believe was also in that weight range. But we keep our harvest numbers in line with what our areas can sustain.

Brings back great memories. It's good to see Rex in one shot. Chifuti comes through in a difficult year.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling
