Don Loth follow this link. http://www.wildlifeprairiestatepark....ges/cougar.htm It will take you to the facts regarding vital statistics and cougars. I stand by my facts regarding them. It' s very easy for anyone to verify this from any other site. Maybe you should have tried finding out this information yourself before looking like an idiot. And that' s just the average cougar. WR class animals are much bigger. Hell the P&Y world record was over 9 1/2 feet long. ( here' s the link to that one http://www.huntinfo.com/bearpaw.htm ) And as far as B&C recognizing this cougar, this is 100% false. It is only included in the Trophy Watch News section. This section is for reader submissions and in no way reflects B&C' s acceptance of the animal. As of today there has been no verification backing this claim up. Hell, maybe if you could read you would have noticed the following disclaimer on the B&C page where this picture is listed.....Quote " HEARD A RUMOUR IN THE WIND ABOUT A NEW WORLD RECORD TROPHY BEING TAKEN. OR HAS YOUR TROPHY BEEN STOLEN? CHECK OUT TROPHY WATCH WHERE WE RESEARCH THE RUMOURS, SEPARATE FACT FROM FICTION AND POST PHOTOS AND INFORMATION ON OUTSTANDING TROPHIES ODDITIES, INTERESTING STORIES FROM THE FIELD. YOU NEVER KNOW, THOSE RUMORS MIGHT JUST BE TRUE" ." Endquote, This is just a page where readers can submitt pics and stories to B&C. There is nothing Official about it.
