Weston Report post Posted November 12, 2008 Not sure if this is the right section but here it goes. I found these early in the year during our HAM javelina hunt. Looks to be a lion kill it was found in Unit 33 Would have scored really nicely had that shaft not been broken off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing that coyotes didn't scatter the bones and carry off the legs. Those palm trees in the skyline make me wonder where you were hunting.
