Congratulations Justin. The days we had our two kids were definitely two of the best in my life. Glad you got back in time.

Congratulations!

The missing toes are interesting because Colorado banned the use of foothold traps (for Bobcat trapping) a long time ago. That Cat may have migrated from another state.

Thanks guys. To answer a few of your questions.

Not sure on the weight of the cat. Never weighed it.

Yea the one pic of Ruby is infact on a lion skin. Good eye! Not the same cat however (old skin a friend has). Thought it would be a cool pic symbolizing the day she was born.

We had a celebration with lion as the main course a week from the day she was born.

Is pretty cool experience. Amazing how you can fall in love with something so fast!

What a story!! Congrats to you and Katy, Ruby is beautiful and the cat is pretty neat too :) Do you have special plans for the cat to memorialize such an awesome day?

Awesome stuff Justin!!! I find it hilarious that the story was 90% about you bagging an awesome cat and then "oh yeah, I went home and had a baby girl the same day" :D

Congrats to you and Katy on the new addition.

And congrats to you on an awesome mountain lion!!!

Wow! What a story
Congrats on the baby and one crazy day!

You are one crazy SOB. I would never crawl through that dark little hole after that cat.
