John, You're probably correct---Should I survive without a helicopter ride to the ER, It would be worth it, just one or two snaps of a big cat in the wild---wow, just wow. Actually, even with baiting, preditor calls etc, your odds of getting a big kitty are pretty remote---They just seem to be smarter than human photogs. Even my hunter friends have to use dogs to even think about getting close to a big cat. I guess it's kind of like bungy jumping or parachuting, its all good until the rope breaks. Guess I'll have to take a calculated risk of the rope breaking.


Wish me luck


Bob


P.S. I'll bring an extra pair of underwear just in case a cat actually shows up.
