I am from a different area than everyone that has replyed to this post. Looks like your from the southwest also. If I have learned anything from this forum, try to listen to the guys in your area.
In my area a good bobcat dog will easily catch lions. One of the big reasons I hunt lions is because it helps get the dogs cold trailing and treeing better. Bobcat races are way more fun though. If a dog is any good at coldtrailing bobcats, it will do an excellent job moving an old lion track.
Last year I had a bobcat cross the road 11 times on the same stretch of road. Dogs only a few feet behind it. Twisting and turning. Jumped and burning on the thing for over an hour. Thats Fun!
Our average cougar race is four hours +or- of cold trailing followed by a two minute jump. It is still fun.
What I'm getting at is if you get to catching bobcat all the time. You may not have as much fun running lions.
is it true?
