NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I have, more than once. Never had an issue. Ive called and he hasnt picked up, but has always called me back with 24 hrs

 

I have without issue, about two years ago though.

 

I love wild cats but I'd still take one if it looked aggressive towards me and doesn't bother me at all when others shoot them. Think about how many deer they kill each year too. One thing I would NOT do is take dogs out and tree a lion and shoot it out of the tree. Bit of a soft spot for wild cats. I actually want some African Carical's for pets lol

When I was just in Idaho a family friend said they shot one close to their elk camp and they cooked cat steaks and he said it was absolutely delicious. Not sure if I believe that.

 

Never heard of anyone eating cat steaks before. Must be an Idaho thing

 

Agreed, not sure I would want that unless it was Z-apocalypse.

 

Cougar meat is really good.

 

how about getting in the snow this weekend? I could fart around the house just the same but I like to take advantage of snow in SNQ pass before it's turned into a snow park.

 

I wasn't into them at 18-19yo but when I got to my mid 20's I was game.....

Wait... are we talking the same thing??!?!?

 

Really tender and worked over....

 

Too bad it smells like appletinis and child support when you cook it tho.

 

Haha... most of the time....

 

That's why I carry while hiking and snowshoeing! I need a bigger hand canon though.
Good everyone is safe!

 

Ive been meaning to get a chest rig for while out in the sticks. Biggest pistol I got right now is .40 sw. You think that's big enuf? Or maybe bump up to 10mm?

 

It's better than nothing. The most powerful handgun I currently have is a .357 Sig. I'm planning on getting a .500SW as my wild land carry. Ideal choice would be a wheel gun in a 40 Magnum caliber or better.
If you must have a semi-auto, .45 or better.
And make sure you load a great defensive round.

 

The sound alone will be a big deterrent out there. A cat getting hit with 9mm or .40 still has a chance to survive, but at that point is not going to feel great (depending on where it is shot of course). 10mm definitely has more punch to it than .40, but is it worth it to get another gun just to have something a little bigger just in case? At that point, might as well have a S&W 500 with 8" barrel. Those things are hand cannons. Have the pistol you are comfortable shooting. One of the things I like more about my 9mm (s&w mp9) is the extra 4 rounds i can carry in each mag compared to the .40 (walther PPQ). As far as shooting, I am definitely happier with the Walther

 

Great advice here. You don't want to go larger than you can effectively use, and the noise will most likely deter the cat.

 

That's a good sized kitty.

 

Whatever you hit the target with more I'm about to order a hillpeoplegear.com chest kit bag for hiking and camping/out exploring too!

 

This is one expensive water bottle.... At least it came with free truck parts heh

 

Just need more ammo!
