I did take the Wolf Pack out yesterday after a lion or bear to get them some exercise after hanging on the chain during elk and deer season. I have a harvest objective tag and there are year round units open for lion. However, I figured to get along with the ungulate chasers and stay out of their hair.
Anyway, I did cut a lion track and put all seven of my hounds down the tracks. The track indicated it was probably a brute tom lion and sure enough it was. Those hounds were just as proud of their catch as mother after her baby won a blue ribbon in a contest of any sort.
I filmed that ol' tom for over an hour and tried to decide whether to kill him or not. You see, my harvest tag expires in the next couple weeks and I'll have to buy another one ha! Finally, I used the cell phone to talk to my wife and a hunting buddy who both encouraged me to take it. However, I must be getting soft-hearted in my old age cause I pulled the hounds and walked away--I call it recycling!hump
Keep'em Treed!
