COOSEFAN Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Alright.....I'll still post a story and pic's later, but this was a smaller cat so we took our time with it, letting the dogs enjoy the moment and gain some experience. It jumped several times but the dogs did a great job and stayed on it. We wanted our buddy to catch up to us so he could see the cat but the cat wouldn't stay put and we eventually lost the trial as it got mixed up with another lion that my bro n' law had caught last week. These two cats have been running together and have been seen by quite a few people lately. It got hot fast and we gave all our water to the dogs so we all got burnt out fast today, finally making it back to the trucks by 3:00pm. Beaten up and bruised, but it was a successful day!

crotalus Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Man, good to hear. I thought maybe ya were in some sort of fist de cuffs with a Puma concolor One of these days I'm going to do a lion hunt. I have a pelt and skull already from a witnessed road kill and it was super fresh none the least but a real lion take down would be in my dreams. "I was up in 20-c a couple of weeks ago and someone killed a rattler out sunning itself and the temps were butt cold." Doh! must of been an Az black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
