One I released this year didn't follow me but he didn't run either. He crept back under the fallen tree I had used for my cubby set and just sat there. I slowly backed out of there and he sat tight. I came back 15-20 minutes later to grab a trail cam that was watching that set and he finally ran off when I approached.

Wrong time of the month maybe, the cat would have been fine in a few days but you would have been hungry and tired from walking backwards by then.

Anyone ever have this happened? Every other I've ever released ran off I got backed down by a very ticked off doe that I released once. Thankfully I was able to get away without having to shoot it but I wasn't sure what was going to happen for a minute.

Come out west and try it with a 100 plus pound lion even with a helper its a rodeo next one I get I will try to get some video. I can't imagine that. A friend of mine got pretty good at releasing bears from foot snares. He says you can tell right off which ones are going to give you a problem.
