VonHey Phil,
Hell! I think you did right famously considering the situation. The big kitty is dead, you killed it and the guide could have been dead instead of just gnawed on.
My life long friend from Alabama and his family took me coon hunting on a visit about 50 years ago and I started running after them. I was called back by an elder WO explained t me that no matter what you hunt with a hound let the dog do it's job. He was right and will remain right till the end of time.
I like a short, lightweight 458 with a 350 jrn in the pipe at a jacked up velocity. Over 3 tons of energy and an exit hole you can throw a football into.
Phil.....you did fine.
Thank you so very much for your kind words! It’s a day I relive in my mind often. Still wishing I hadn’t had the gun malfunction and I would have smashed that cat in the face with another 300 grains of hot lead. We would have had a leopard party instead of first aid and surgery for my PH.
Hope to meet you at the shows sometime.
Regards,
Philip
