As 2021 is heading to finish line I headed back to Wyoming to finish out a mountain lion hunt that started in January of 2021 with my best friend. Although we came home from that hunt without a lion it was a success in all respects.A great time, awesome hound work in amazing places, treed cats and life long memories. Knowing that I was still had that unpunched tag in my pocket, our buddy had me back to finish what I started, a few more days hunting that hopefully would find us the right track that would lead us to a big Tom in tree with dogs below. Well we found our track and after a stellar performance by two exceptional hounds, we had a ring side seat to one of the best chases you could imagine, we finally meet Punch and POW POW at the base of big spruce with a mature tom treed way up high. Those two bitches really put on a show while running that cat. And what great cat he is. Thankful for so many things, the hounds, for great friendships , wild places and the amazing animals that inhabit them . Here are few pictures
Just about. It was really really quick when it happened. That said we where at the tree over an hour before he was in a position that I could sneak an arrow in.
That's awesome. Nothing like watching well trained dogs work! I hear Mountain Lion taste really good, let's us know Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
awesome, once again. man, you have created a lifetime of memories. I admire what you do and appreciate the stories and pics each time.. and yes, hounds at work is a work of art. I take some heat at times because I hunt deer with hounds down here in the south, but it is a beautiful sound and it gets the blood flowing.
Haha Noodle, I was not casting a bait. OK, I've eaten mountain lion, 3 times and it's like the best pork ever.. Fantastic!
I haven’t decided yet, pretty sure it’s going to be a full mount. Right now the full hide is being tanned and prepped so I have time to decide. Pretty much my only options are full or a rug.
does it taste like chicken? beef? pork? or just plain old cat? No seriously though, on a scale of 1-10 what you give it
