Huge TOM: 130-140 lbs, scarred up & missing right ear! Plus other lion pics.

[AZBearhunter]

I had this Tom several times on camera, in multiple locations. Im guessing him at about 130-140lbs, a good mature Arizona Tom. I think his about 5-6 years old and has definitely seen his share of fights. If you notice he is missing his right ear. Enjoy. (These photos are the property of AZBearhunter).

 

I had an opportunity to hunt mt. lion with dry hounds this year in March for the first time, it was an absolute BLAST! It is such an exciting and suspenseful hunt, I highly recommend it! If you are interested in hunting mountain lions with dry hounds, inbox me and I will set you up with one of the best dry hounds-man in Arizona (i'll provide details). There are many TOMs like this one out there, the only thing you need is a pack of dogs!

 

Camera used: Bushnell Trophy Cam HD 8mp

On 7.19.2013 a skull shows up near the water where the lion is sitting. Did you put that there or did it just show up one day?

 

Just curious.

Dang that is a healthy group of lions.

I did not put it there. There was many bones around the area, and the skull was at the location higher up on the bank, it must have either slid down or was moved by one of the lions. I did get a lion killing a deer on camera, and there are multiple kills in the area.

You can bet money that I will be killing a lion every year from now on! Hiking the country to go check one of my cameras this year I came face-to-face with a nice lion at about 20 yards. The lion was in a mine shaft on the bank of the wash that I was walking down, and I happened to look just in time to see the lion crouch so I wouldnt see it. I drew my side arm and waited in a Mexican stand off. The lion bolted after about 30 seconds. I had already filled my lion tag for the year, otherwise, I would have shot.

Unfortunately I wasn't in a unit were multiple bag limits apply, otherwise I'd have two lions for the year of 2013.
