Two nice toms in 5 days

Post by killroy »

We had a father and son from Michigan come hunt with us. They wanted to stay together so they could be part of each others hunt. The first day we ran a lion in the dirt all day long. The chase ended on some bad ledges and we were not able to find the cat. The second day we went to where there was a little snow left and the fun started.

Had to come off this face, very steep and very slick.

Following the dogs.

Had the lion caught in his den.

Image
Had to get down and pull the dogs out by their tails. This blood is from wounded dogs. (Everyone healed up fine)

The lion is back inside the cave. Hunter had to use a pistol while laying on his belly.

Every ruin is different.

Quite a week for a father and his son.

I dont know who enjoyed it more, the hunters or the two brothers that were their guides for a week.

Great pictures and stories. Those old ruins are sure neat to see. I have decided that I don't like lions in the rocks. Rather have them go up a proper tree, much safer for the dogs. Glad your dogs healed up ok.
