well over 270 lbs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey bud loks like you enjoyed the same ole raskell I`ve run befor and had the same thing happen ! Right up near letts lake and on the rd goen up futher too the end of snow mtn, Got him walk bayed up crossen the rd in front of the landcruzzer and could of poped him with a 300 h&h deer rifle and scope/ at no more than 150-200 ft up above the road. the wind come up and the cat finally broke and ran this time-not walk bayed fighten my hounds, long story shorten i lost my dogs that night cause of the wind an i was thinken oh shoot if they go up too the ranger tower as headen they ca get down acrost the lower rd on the other side of the mtn an probaly will pull the next ridge and head for hospital canyon area ! Or instead go too the south and over the bear wallow trail and into indian valley off walker ridge an the off out of the country/ back then only a very few wildlife collars was out so I sure didn`t yet have one at htem prices and hunted as I allways hunted/just knowing cat and the country I was-in. I had sniffed arounf little duncan creek oan gone down an back the ladogga dirt rd and i thought ok maybe he circkef back and is headed down too the river and goen plum too pillsberry/ so i went right back too were I`d turn out on him and they started the track.I got out and looked for prints in the snow and I hurd Big Bow my main Nances bred Walker and he was starten too tree bark below the rd. I realize that ole bugger had made a turn around the mtn and come rightback-in too were me and Rick Bowman had struck him below the rd. on just the droped off rden for a strike !We didn`t kill him that was in 78 and he was huge and brick red and defently a walken tom.
