Got another lion.

[wyoboypt]

Was on my way up a dirt road to glass for elk for my dad when a lion ran across the road right in front of me. I continued on up to the glassing point and after seeing no elk, i raced back down to the spot and started following tracks. Its rocky hills in that area with juniper. Not long after and it went into a deep creek bottom with willows. At first i went all the way in but realised it wasnt passing through. I went back up to the rim so i could see down in the creek and within 5 minutes spotted a dark mass in the willows with no snow on it. She was frozen still staring at me, maybe 20 uards away and i smoked her between the shoulders. So cool.

Ever kill a lion off it’s kill?

Found a fresh lion kill today from last night. The entire deer was there, a 3 point. Do you think waiting for the lion to come eat off it from 200 yds away is doable? How long will it take him to eat it? A coyote ran off it later this afternoon and had it uncovered and ate the guts out. Will the...

Nice. In the last 10 years I have seen 8 lions. Only time I had a tag was this year and had one at 75 yards that had no idea I was there. I don't know squat about cats and wasn't sure if his size. I let him walk. A friend is going to take me out with his dogs. Looking forward to that for sure. mtmuley
