clb Report post Posted October 12, 2010 I found the tracks of a few different lions in the area a week before. This was the 3rd day I had made a circle with the dogs on horseback. The first day I had a few barks but nothing to exciting. The second day I trailed most the day but with the weather still pretty hot the dogs could not catch it. The third day started out pretty slow I was almost done with the circle when the dogs picked his track up. They were trailing slow in a nice cool canyon so I figured we were on a older track with not much hopes of catching the lion. I was just about to pull them off and head home when the track started getting better so I decited to let them continue. Soon they were trailing on a open south facing slope at a really good pace. It wasn't long tell they jumped him. when I got to that spot I found a freshly eaten skunk. The dogs then got out of hearing and caught him in a rock pile. The first pic is the skunk foot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clb Report post Posted October 13, 2010 oz31p - For some odd reason lions eat alot of skunks. oneshot - That horse has always been easy to pack anything on. In my oppinion If you have a good horse and he trusts you then he will be willing to try it. Just be patient and not give the horse a bad experiance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
