Second this question, always interested in if people went hunting for them or happened to stumble upon him with a tag in the pocket.

Awesome cat!

Congrats! Not many people ever get the chance to shoot a lion without hounds, much less a big tom like that. Way to go.

Welcome to HuntTalk. Thanks for posting a great picture. How did you get him?

 

[lcraw59]

I was elk hunting but I was sitting for awhile and my feet got cold so I got up and went to walk this ridge when I come across this cat track I decided to follow after about 100 yards the timber began to get thick and there he was about 75 yards in front of me looking at me so I just pulled my gun up and shot when I went to get him come to find out he was coming from a 3 point mule deer he had killed I guess a day or 2 before it was a sight what he did around the deer it was about 80% gone I shot him at 130pm and had him out the woods right before dark FUN
