Yep. Notice the paw print is bigger than my Snow Boot print, Yikes! Standing out there alone with not even a shovel for protection looking at these things all over the place I suddenly had a guttural feeling of fear come over me, a rush I really don’t need, I mean it’s good to know it’s there and it’s a feeling I’ve never experienced in my life. The closest thing I would compare it to was when I was around 18 and walked across a wooden truss lumber flume for a mile at around 200 feet in the air, and even it wasn’t quite the same.

We’ve had a couple of cougars frequent our place from time to time. I always have my 357 with me just in case. These have been ambushers not stalkers. I’ve seen claw marks on trees where they climbed up to limbs to pounce on deer. Don’t know how they react when food is scarce, that could really change they’re attitude. They’re big animals, have seen them jump a good 30′ horizotally. They seem to stay away from me so far.

I’m going to have to borrow one from a friend, I have rifles and a shotgun, and an interesting Springfield 22/410 over under that folds in half, suppose I could use that. Or maybe I should just get one. At one point I just had this feeling I was being watched, the hair stood up on the back of my neck, that was weird.

My wife has those feellings and she’s usually right. She won’t mow back by the corner of the woods and our farm field because she feels like she’s being watched. I carry a 357 EAA revolver. A revolver never misfires. If you look around you can find the EAA Windicator 357 on sale for around $250. It may be cheap priced for a 357, but it’s actually well made and very accurate if you’ve got a smooth pull and steady hand. I popped a racoon on dead run at 30 yards with it.

The Judge is the way to go imho, and is on my wish list. You can alt load a slug, ØØ Buck, and a .45 Colt in a 2-1/2″ six round chamber. I like the mix-n’-match idea.
The gf has one of these (handed down from her Dad). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_Game_Getter

The versatility of cartridge selection is the greatest part of the Judge. .410 shot shells with anything from #9 shot to 000 Buck or slugs. Couple that with a good .45 LC with a quality HP bullet and you have just about any situation covered.
The biggest drawback is with only 5 shots you can’t load one of everything. 😉
A 2-1/1″ .410 will hold 3 000 Buck shot. So one snake load (#9 or #7 shot) two 00 Buck and two .45 LC with XTP hollow points will cover a wide range of threats.
The Judge also comes in a 3″ chamber and that increases the pellet count of ooo Buck to 5.
The 2-1/2″ version is way easier to control and shoot than the Super Blackhawk. Both are a lot of FUN.
I wish mine was a 3″. Hmm, maybe I have room “for one more”. 🙂
Rural life where you can use a tractor or dozer to push up a backstop for target practice is a great life!
