Frickin’ awesome quick thinking by the young lady. She doesn’t shoot like a girl. She shoots like a woman.
When was that picture taken, 1942 ?
Can’t read it on my old Blackberry dinosaur phone.
WARNING!
The link, issuu, led to the issuu app and took over my iPhone. I had to close every page, reopen Safari and quickly close the link.
The story is not worth the effort.
We were on some sort of a trail and came to a fork in the trail with an unusually large sagebrush at the fork. Suddenly the mare planted all four feet and snorted. I sensed she wanted to run home, so I gathered her up, and I am bareback!!! and held on tight. I could see nothing, smell nothing, no tracks, anything. Then she began to shake in freight. It was all I could do to hold her. She would go no farther.
I made her walk back to the house and it was the last mile that she began to stop shaking.
Old timers told me it was a cat marking post and that she had smelled it. I thought it I turned around to see what was behind me, I would lose my balance and if she took off I was a gonner.
They have since killed big cats in that area as well as black bears.
Glad that young lady was well schooled in shooting. She certainly has moxie.
Article was a bit confusing. The writer said the hunt was in New Mexico, Unit 52. No comment was made about crossing the border into Colorado. Yet when the cat was shot, Colorado game wardens appeared on scene.
That incident will make some good memories. Mountain lions also make good jerky.
I am a (former) hunter from a hunting family but you will have to tell me , what are shooting sticks?
Cool story but what a brutal format on that site.
Shooting sticks??? Mr Magoo could hit a moutain lion at five yards without a shooting stick!
