Ringer Report post Posted October 2, 2019 Years ago one of the guys on azbasszone was quail hunting near Horseshoe lake with his pup. Had a backpack on and a lion got up and pushed him down while biting the backpack. He shot it with his shotgun. Never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biglakejake Report post Posted October 2, 2019 been hunting Arizona since i was 6yo, 60 now and still have not seen a live lion in the wild. kicked out a few bears in the dark but i was always most afraid of hydrophoby skunks and foxes. scariest thing happened in broad daylight-descending a steep slope in big canyon i see a huge, black mass of bees as big as a house headed up right at me. nowhere to go so i hit the ground, covered up and waited to die. turned day into night. pucker factor 10+. lee 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snapshot Report post Posted October 2, 2019 The movie showed him being shot by Doc Holliday, but it was reported that Ringo committed suicide. A worker in Turkey creek found him sitting dead against a tree, with a bullet through the temple, and one fired round in his pistol. I didnt know that until I looked it up.

lonne Report post Posted October 2, 2019 Lions at dark? That's NOTHING!!! Worst is either walking in the dark down a very steep mountain far from camp, through a hidden canyon near the border, or a rattlesnake at night. LOL 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A worker in Turkey creek found him sitting dead against a tree, with a bullet through the temple, and one fired round in his pistol. I didnt know that until I looked it up. Deputy sheriff Billy Breakenridge reported seeing Johnny Ringo drunk before he was dead, and tried to talk him into riding along with him, which Ringo refused. Breakenridge later ran into Leslie on the same trail. When Leslie plugged Billy Claiborne outside the Oriental, Claiborne refused medical treatment so he could make a statement how Leslie killed his friend Ringo. In my original post I had Luke Short killing Claiborne, but it was indeed Leslie. Luke Short shot Charlie Storms at the Oriental. My appolagies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
