Feb. 1993. Near Tabiona Utah, after a chase on foot over 3 mountains in knee to hip deep snow. The lion jumped tree 3 times, before we could get to him for a shot. S&W 629 .44 Mag, wearing an Ultra Dot: Dec. 1993 Along the Sawtooth Wilderness Area in Idaho, following 3 days of tracking and chasing, after the lion killed Darl Allred's lead dog, Ballsey, on the first day. Same 629: Tough country: [/UR
Crossing log-choked and frozen Canyon Creek:
Of course, Bobcats can be great sport: RSA July 4, 1995. FA .454 with 300 gr. Sierra JSP 55 yds. One of two stalking toward us in the long grass:

ON AN AFRICAN SAFARI WITH A BUNCH OF GUYS BACK IN 2000, THE TOPIC OF HUNTING LEOPARD WITH HOUNDS CAME UP. A COUPLE OF THE GUYS WERE TOTALLY INCENSED ABOUT USING HOUNDS TO HUNT LEOPARD BUT I HAD NEVER HEARD THEM COMPLAIN ABOUT LION HUNTING IN THE USA WITH HOUNDS, AND WORSE, I KNOW THEY HUNTED QUAIL WITH POINTERS, GO FIGURE?

Ken, you looked like a tough old Marine in a couple of those photo's, you could probably outrun the dogs back then buddy. Especially if there was a strawberry soda waiting at the end of the hunt........I haven't quit laughing & neither has Glenn, looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks! Great photo's!
