[QUOTE="436, post: 2822264, member: 16609"] I don't disagree with you, however, most, it seems, cats are punched at close range, treed, or cornered with dogs, and those folks popping them with a myriad of bullets, weapons, and so on... double lung seems to work and they don't go far, again not saying an FMJ is the best way to "anchor" one, but... it does help on pelts if that's what they want. Like you, I'm sure we've killed our fair share of Yotes, me here and in Idaho when we lived there. With that said; I've had explosive bullets fail as well, yes... the rule of thumb would be to go with a violent expanding bullet to anchor them. If I'm not mistaken the bullet manufacturers were asked to make those FMJs for pelt hunters, seems like there really is no other usage for them. Yes, we both understand how unbelievably tenacious a Yote is, you sure have to respect that in them. Big cats I'm sure have a strong desire to live as well. Just thinking out loud, Cheers [/QUOTE]
