Well went up and right after daylight we walked up this draw about 200 yards and cut the Big female track. Turned the dogs loose they trailed her down the hill aways and then all the sudden make a mad circle right towards us sat there and watched the lion run bout 50 yards away from us and up the hill. Dogs treed her within another five minutes.
Didnt want to kill a female but since it was causin problems and was a old old cat i told my buddy he could take it. All her teeth were just about all worn off. she measured just under eight foot and guessed her weight at about 150 pounds.
Since the day was still young and had a good fresh snow we took off to try and find another went over a couple ridges and bam cut another. Overnight tom track. Dumped the dogs and the race was on again about an hour later they treed him a young tom.
