First Lion! Same one that was on the camera?!

Recommended Posts


I can't tell if it is the same one that was on the camera last month but I'm just stoked I killed my first lion!

 

Unit 34A called her in, 90 yards with a .300 win mag! Was an amazing/tiresome hunt, got off work at midnight, left at 1 AM, flat tire

from 4x4ing at 4 AM, and called her in at 2 pm yesterday luckily despite the windy day. Took her to Jerry's Taxidermy in Tucson.

 

Extremely stoked and thankful I have wanted to achieve this goal for a while now and I have learned a lot from posts on this site! Hard work pays!

Hand or electronic call? I love the .300 win mag, great caliber for bear and lion. Great achievement!!

Congrats on a great trophy. Lion hunt is something I have been wanting to do myself.

That's cool pic. Of the cat on the trail cam.

Thank you all! @Clfores haha yeah she was as excited about it as I was, hopefully she will like lion burgers as much as she liked the bear burgers!

 

Kidso, I used an electronic call, I've been trying with a hand call but I don't think I've got the craft down just yet to be honest. Yeah the .300 win mag did a great job, she was down after about 175/200 yards.. that exit wound was gigantic.

Great job!

 

Still one of my most amazing hunts was calling in a lion and having that rug on my wall. I shot mine the same place as you high lung towards the back. I was lucky though and caught some spine and she dropped right there. What a thrill when you know they are sneaking in for a meal! She popped up about 15 yards from me, surprised I didn't have to throw those shorts out.
