I've shot quite a few, this was one of the biggest
Photos of doc guys on the island holding them by the tail, level with shoulders and theirs ears are dragging on thexground... Lots of kiwis to nibble on
Seen heaps in the ureweras
Someone should start up a post called "Operation Fluffy" and we can all post our wild cat kills on it as we get them.
It could double as a lost & found page also
Seen two tonight only got a shot at one as my headlamp died,will check tomorrow.

Ive shot a 4 up in the Pohongina Valley over the years at a family friends. First one was when I was 16, thought it was a possum at the base of a tree when we were spotlighting. Eyes looked exactly the same as a possums in the light. Other 3 were infesting their shearing shed and really pissing off the farmer. He didn't really have the energy to deal with them himself so when I went up one Christmas I went on walks every couple of hours with old 10/22. Does the job. Popped off 3 and the rest buggered off but left one orphaned. The farmer ended up taking the thing in and raising it, it wouldn't let anybody other than him near it. I came back about 2 years later and it was more than happy to follow me around. We joked it remembered the smell of me and figured it better be nice to me or it might go the way of the others. Morbid? Yes but it was the best explanation we could come up with.
All joking aside they are vicious little devils, good luck if you are after them, cheers for doing the nation a favor!
We saw one while tahr hunting right up the top of the rangitata (of all places) he was a wee way off but even then we could tell it was a pretty big cat, black too, when I first spotted it through my binos I literally got all excited and thought I had spotted the bloody canterbury panther! I think @sambnz has some video/photos of it?
