My buddy Terry connected last week...
On Wednesday he had a two point come in to a water tank and he passed it up since he drew an any bull tag for the unit.
As the bull wandered off, a cougar was following. Terry was in a right handed stand and he is a left handed shooter, so he had to turn and face the tree which made drawing his bow difficult; his first shot clipped a branch. There were a bunch of turkeys roosted in the neighboring trees and at the shot they started making a bunch of noise which kept the cougar's attention.
The second shot went right eventhough it was only nineteen yards because the cougar had moved further behind the tree. Luckily, the cougar must have thought the arrow was a turkey as he pounced on it immediately. Terry said he was shaking so bad that he was going to blow the chance, but the third arrow was perfect.
Three days later he got his bull too.
Pictures here after some help from Dogfish.
