KK, you could come over here and kill all the mountain lions you want, it wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit. Our lion population is so high over here that it is really having a bad effect on our bobcat population. I can drive all day long and fill pretty lucky if I can find a bobcat track to run, but that same day of driving I'll easily cut about 10 or better fresh lion tracks to run. The only problem is they won't let you hunt with hounds yet and they don't allow out of state hunting on lions. Ross

KK,
Not to take this away from the original post, but I have to say get your self the gps system as soon as you can afford it. I bought two systems last year when the dc20 was out and they worked good but were bulky and did not hold up in the brush. This fall I upgraded to the dc30 systems and they are the best system that I have ever used. Saved me time, gas, and even stopped one elk race. I hunt around a lot of wolves and I think that they will make the difference in getting to the tree before the wolves do. Good luck and carry on with the original post.

Price of Lions

KK,
I'll pay you $500 for both of your lions killed and tagged, if they are big Toms or even big Females. That is for each lion that is not tore up and frozen.
Call or email me at
ccwlawson@aol.com or 918-850-3421.
I'm in Wyoming hunting now, and will be back and forth there for the next 45 days. Then in NM & AZ for 75-90 days.
I'll have you ship it Fed-EX or UPS overnite delivery to my taxidermay shop and send your money prior to that how ever you want.
I prefer the Toms only, but sure you have as I have treed some big and old females that could be taken.
Not interested in small or medium sized lions or really any females.
I could use up to five at this time to be mounted.
Thanks for reading and good luck hunting.

Rigdogs,
What kind of battery life do they have? Do you run your collars on the 5 second. 10 sec. or the 30 sec settings? What kind of range, Do you have to be in the same canyon or do they have better range. I was told the range was like the talk about radios.

KK,
I have the collars set to report every 5 seconds and the battery life on mine still easily lasts a couple days. The range is dependent on the terrain and I have lost reception when the dogs left a steep canyon and I was still standing in the bottom. The main difference to me is that once the system updates again it is showing the exact location of the dog. No bounce and no interference from high voltage power lines. I have not lost contact with the dogs for any lengthy amount of time though. I have also heard that they are now offering an antenna that is supposed to extend the range some. As far as that goes I have not used one myself and have not yet felt the need for one. Good luck with this, anymore ?'s feel free to let me know.

I am with RigDogs. I just this year have purchased the dc30 and have used it in Utah and Idaho and has worked very well for me. Like Jake said you will drop at times but sooner or later it will update at exact location of dogs. Great unit!!
