kidso Report post Posted June 3, 2018 I heard this crazy medley of distress sounds, screams, and growls coming out of a dense thicket in front of me yesterday with about 30 minutes of light left. It was both eerie and reminiscent of sounds I produce with hand predator calls. A young calf walks out of this thicket being closely followed by its mother. They freeze in place and the mother turns her head and is fixated on something behind her. I see movement and a lion steps out. As I grab a call out of my pocket, I watch the calf and its mother proceed away from the lion with the lion following them just five feet behind in hot pursuit. I blow a couple of screams out of my call and free the lion in its tracks. I raise my rifle and see literally nothing but vegetation. Darn it, I had my rifle scope on 10x! As I dial it back down to 4x, the cattle and lion all begin moving broadside and parallel to me at about 200 yards. I let out a couple of squeals again, stopping the lion a second time in its tracks. However, on this replay, I see my target and squeeze the trigger on my .300 win mag. Dead lion...living calf. 35 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
