GRONG Report post Posted March 17, 2008 Dad called me and said he had a lion treed. I hauled arse out there in my truck with my boy Isaac. After about an hour of suck, bumpy, 6A driving we finally parked, I threw him up on my shoulders and ran about a 1/3 of a mile down into the deep draw just before dark so Isaac could see his first lion. It was pretty freakin awesome for a kid less than 3 yrs old to see something like that. And before any of you ask, no, the lion was not killed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wklman Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Why didnt you lay the hammer down? Looks like a decent lion... But then agian what do I know?! probably because that lion is $2500-$3000 for a guide and they didn't have a client along. congrats Josh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRONG Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Thanks for all the kind comments everyone. The reason the lion wasn't killed is cause it was, in my guesstimation, about a 55-65 lb female. That's like shooting a spike bull elk, with a rifle, on a trophy elk hunt during the rut in unit 10. Crotalus, your first sentance is hilarious. I didn't think anything of the situation being unsafe but there was a couple of people who saw the pics and couldn't see it for the special time it was for me and Dad and saw nothing but DANGER DANGER for my boy. Never even occured to us but maybe that's cause we're men... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COUESAZ Report post Posted March 18, 2008 OH unsafe for sure. Infact I am calling for you to step down from your positions as lion hunters and hand those Dogs over to me on the spot. you are putting those dogs in danger of loseing all self respect haveing a youg boy like that out treeing them on a lion. I mean look at that style and the steadfastness he has in the face of danger. What a tool to add to your bag of lion hunting tricks. Thought the pictures were great myself and i bet i know who raised the biggest fuss. HAHA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
