Brush Buster Report post Posted December 28, 2008 Here are a couple pictures from yesterday. My dogs and I chased this tom for several miles accross some NM coues country. He tried to give us the slip into some real nasty bluffs. This old tom almost got away from us but the dogs were able to located him in a serries small cave's. I passed on this one for now, to early in the season to use my tag and I was alone. Had a fun time catching him maybe we will cross paths again someday.

tjhunt2 Report post Posted December 28, 2008 That for sure has to be an awesome experience trying to keep up with the hounds. I couldn't do it that's for sure. Thanks for sharing the pics and story with us. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brush Buster Report post Posted December 29, 2008 Thanks guys, mountian lions are awesome animals and very fun and challenging to hunt in the desert southwest. This was an average tom nothing huge but mature. The blood is from one of my dogs feet, they just get a little sore from running on hard frozen ground nothing a couple days of rest won't cure.

Mr. Jonathan Report post Posted December 29, 2008 Awesome! It's such a better experience running alongside the dogs, even when they get way out ahead of you. I love listening to them bark from canyon to canyon and following the tracks. It makes me learn a lot more about the animals too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GILAMAN Report post Posted December 30, 2008 Brush Buster my son is interested in learning about lion hunting with hounds. Is there any way he can get together with you to learn? GILAMAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatfootdoc Report post Posted December 30, 2008 BB, awesome pics!!! I would have donated some lead and a lion tag (if you would have let me deliver the aforementioned lead and would have happily burned a tag on him) ag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brush Buster Report post Posted December 30, 2008 GilaMan I don't know if he can learn much from me. I realy don't know what the heck I am doing most of the time. Every once in a while I get lucky. Send me A PM on how to contact you and maybe we can get him out. Hey Fatfoot. Well if it was later in the year I probably would have smoked him too, last year I killed a tom in dec. Then I did not have a tag to hunt the rest of the year, luckily I had some good freinds with lion tags that I hunted with. Here is the one I killed in dec. 2007.

Birddog Report post Posted December 30, 2008 Is that the Garmin Astro collar on your dog? I’m thinking of buying one and was wondering how well it worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
