Time in between lion tracks?
Just wondering how far you guys are going between lion tracks days and miles. I am doing a lot of walking and I am wondering if I should be driving more roads looking for tracks or even dragging more roads. I am only hunting in the dirt so it is hard to cut sign on the roads. I know this is a hard one to answer but how many canyons are you walking before you find a track and how many miles do you walk. Just seems like I am putting down a lot of boot leather, or maybe I just need some new country to hunt.

Its my experience that its not how far you walk, but walking in the RIGHT places... Like a creek, their could be fish in part of it, but their are spots that hold fish consistently...gotta find the honey holes and the feed.

When I first started we would go days and days. After we learned done different country good we now could find a track in less then 5 days. Sometimes less than that. Funny part is finding the track is only half the battle in the dirt.

Catdogs is right.
JMO....Theres some places that I hunt that will hold a cat everynow and then and then theres others that seem to hold cats every 3-5days, just a high consistancy of them. Seems to me the higher the food oppertunity the better the odds. In the better places you dont have to hike more than 2-5 miles in a day, in the less populated areas 15-20miles every 3-5 days and to cut one.
But I would get a mule, and safe your body the beating, this way you can get to the sweet spots alot quicker, and be ready to work those tracks out.
