bonecollector777 Report post Posted March 11, 2015 Wow, sounds like you guys had a blast! The dogs on the lion wouldn't happen to be Jed's dogs would they? I went up to Heber with a buddy of mine this past December to pick up some puppies he got from Jed from a classified ad that was posted here. In one of the pics you posted looks exactly like the pups dad. My Buddy has 3 pups/brothers and they are growing like weeds, great dogs!!! Yep your pup came from one of those dogs in the pics. The dogs there were his and two of his brothers dogs. They are great dogs for sure. With some good training you will have an awesome dog in the future.

SirRoyal Report post Posted March 12, 2015 Those are amazing photos! Makes me want another Lion . But this time I would use a take down recurve instead of a bulky compound that caused me to do a back flip off my horse on the side of a mountain trail!

PRDATR Report post Posted May 11, 2015 Was this a Tom? Did you weigh it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector777 Report post Posted May 11, 2015 Yeah it was a tom, the guys with the dogs don't kill females so we had to confirm it was a Tom before shooting it. We were kind of confused because the head really wasn't all that big like most toms but the body was big. We eventually were able to see the brown spot that confirmed it was a tom. We didn't weigh it but judging off sizes of other cats we guessed around 130-135 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted May 11, 2015 Thanks. I though it may have been bigger but I really don't have any field experience in judging their weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancetkenyon Report post Posted May 28, 2015 Help me out here: how do you 'confirm' that its a tom in the field? a reach around?? It takes some real balls to confirm you have a tom while keeping the dogs in check and your blood pressure down.......literally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
