Sitting in the chair after hiking in Glacier today, Jen goes out on the deck to bring Sage in for the night, and sees what? Someone's dog....... Whooooaaaa. DJ!!! DJ!!!!! There's a lion!!!! I poke my head out, yep! Standing right in our driveway. Where is the camera!?!?
Took me 5 seconds to grab the cam off the couch, get back to the door to see its back cruising through the timber toward the east many lakes neighbor's property.
Now the hunt is on. I sneak down the way and into the timber where I last saw it, trying not to crunch too many pinecones. Nothing nothing. I get right to the edge of our timber and I see a flash of him down in the clearcut, it just pounced on something like a housecat, and disappeared in a small gully. But it never comes out of the gully. So after about 2 or 3 minutes I sneak over to get a better look, and there he is. He followed a trail which kept him out of sight, right to the top of a small ridge. He is just sitting there watching over another clearcut, undoubtedly for some unsuspecting doe or fawn.
I got the first picture
then I decided to see how close I could get.
He finally heard me or smelled me and turned around,
but the stupid camera was focused on a larch in the foreground. Bummmer!!!!! The sun must have blinded him because he didn't see me(that is the really blurry pic with the sun), even though he was looking right at me. So he moved off, back into the timber.
I quick-stepped up the hill, which brought me to withing 40 yards of him, then he had me pegged,
I just let them cam take as many pics as it could before he bolted. He took off and gave some poor turkey a heart attack, as it put that turkey to roost about two hours early. hahahaha.
