90 lb. Lion

After a lot of hard hunting we found this young lady a lion to harvest. Treed a few but nothing worth shooting until the dogs found this one.
Walked up a south facing bare slope hoping for a little luck and it didn't take long for them to strike this cat. Started walking at 7 AM, got to the tree by 3:30 and made it back to the truck by 1:00 the next morning.
She deserves it; she earned it!

Hey I'm rounding here guys. Hunters code is to always round up right? You want the actual weight????? It was 87.5 lbs. That is on a certified scale, so you guys just give me a break. I wouldn't lie to you. Some people are always trying to stir the pot.....

I have a pic of his twin, face resemblance is uncanny, size is pretty close too. I'll PM ya a pic, could pass for the same cat, but I guessed him at 160-170. i wouldn't be surprised if this cat of yours is in the 170-180 range. Outstanding!
Glad somebody put up a pic of a REAL quality tom, this should hopefully sort through all the BS posts of 150-170lb cats floating around. Helen Keller could see the difference between em all with this lion!
