why does it seem any lion under 150 lbs is a kitten? mine was called a kitten also, and i do not see any sign of spots on this cat at all. and at a distance of 5 feet in the attack position, i think that would be considered self defense if nothing else, am i wrong? again, congrats on the lion.

good ole molly butlers. that place is neat! have caught quite a few trout on the little colorado where it comes into town. that bull in MB's is huge! do you know the story on him at all? my grandpa has always tried to get the scoop but still has no idea!

Josh, im gonna have to agree with everyone else.... he sure doesnt have ur looks! im proud of ya, not only for that nice horn

man i thought my lion was close! but heck, urs even knew u were there! awesome!

bill sounds like ur in the white mountains, what part? my grandparents have a cabin pinetop we go to all the time. on my time off i work and go to school. for fun i develope and test loads for my rifles, go fishing try to scout but usually doesnt work out,. hiking is hella fun and i need to do it more often, my pup (ojos, doberman austrillian shepard mix) would go nuts and love it! i need to take him out!

SCREW THAT!!!! dont get me wrong, when i am worth about 10-20 million, i would LOVE to go lion hunting but man thats scary! i just ordered death in the long grass and am awaitng its arrival! Bill, i would love to hear the story of your beautiful lion!

1.5k for a dinner! do you know what i could do with 1.5k!!!! looks like ya had a good time!

i use zeiss and love them. swarovskis are awesome but at 1700-1800, they are a pretty penny.

that is a good looking gun, i really like that model, the MTN DM. when i bought my 30-06, if the gun shopt i bought it from would have had that gun, i would have bought it. what loads do you have on the way?

sweet looking gun! i have 2 rigs that are almost the same: 30-06 LSS mountain rifle with leupold 3.5-10x50 scope and 7mag model 700 with the zeiss 3-9x50. those groups should be tighter when the barrel gets broken in and once you find a good load. is the gun brand new? are you keeping this one? i like those mountain rifles with the DM.

could you tell if the bullet blew up or held together pretty well? how was the exit? was hoping you were using a accubond or TSX to see what kind of expansion it got!

Deerslam, what bullet did you use in the 270 to take that hog? how was the performance? congrats

it is amazing how mnay people cross the border everyday. when i was packing out my javelina, one of my hunting partners said he stopped and talked to 8 illegals not 1/2 mile from camp! i also got pulled over 2 times in about 15 mins on the way back! some of you know and some of you dont, i am going to school to work for the border patrol! that is really what i want to do! wish me luck!

lino hunting is for sure a challenege! i did it on a spot and stalk and it honestly, tested my man hood. it would have been fine but i had on new boots with a not as good as i thought fit. hard work really pays off, as it does in any hunt.i can only imagine how hard and physically and mentally demanding a hunt with dogs would be. my hat is off to you guys who run dogs!allthough, i must admit, if i had a choice of killing a lion with dogs or spot and stalk, i would take spot and stalk.

also coming from the stand point of the son, the time is cherished with my dad!

Chef you hit it on the head! the majority of them are from Texas! you know there is bound to be some trouble!

knowing you scott, and knowing how much money all those people make i know your gonna get in trouble! you dog!

25-06 is a 30-06 necked down to .257.... it shoots .257 bullets and uses 25-06 dies. a 30-06 uses .308 bullets and uses 30-06 dies... a .270 is a 30-06 necked to a .277 and uses .270 dies and .277 bullets. the only components that are the same is the primers and powder

the pride alone in seeing a group that you have hand loaded shoot a 3 shot group smaller than a penny is worth it. then, actually harvesting a animal let alone finding the bullet is also a sense of pride. i remember the pride i felt when i pulled the 165 sierra game king i had just used to take my 2nd elk... awesome! then seeing the couse from my dads rifle fall with the bullet i have loaded, and the coues fall with the bullet i loaded for my own rifle... worth it! and you can not beat the accuracy once you find a pet load!
