chilcotin hillbillycoltons first cougar
The guiding for cats this year has been really slow, so yesterday a took out my 12 yearold son for a cat. Colton made a good shot,the tom bailed and just about ran him over. The cat measured 9'1", wieghed 175# and skull green scored 15'3/8. Great day with father and son. One I won't forget anytime soon.

chilcotin hillbillyOakman. I am not sure he really realizes the trophy he harvested. Colton was on his first cat hunt at 8 years old. That year he saw a 180# and a 220# cougar shot. Every year he comes home from school and sees a few toms this size that clients have shot and I thinks they are around every corner. He does realize that this was an expensive memory as a hunter would have paid good dollars to harvest this cat.Even with that I cannot put a price on the good time we had on the hunt.
