Lion Hunters in Texas

Anyone know of lion hunters around Austin? I know of some in west Texas but none around central. I have a pretty cut and dry lion situation and need someone who can be on the move when they steal another goat. Pretty random lions so I wouldn't recommend driving from very far. If you have any leads let me know. tom

I don't know many, but you might try Joe Burkett in Fredricksburg, (830) 928-4440 Cell phone.
He has a few but is on the road a lot...
I shouldn't be recommending him without his knowledge, but he might be able to assist with someone else if he can't.
Good luck and I hope it helps, John Ketzler

Shorty and BignBlue on here both live in Texas and both lion hunt. They may have seen the post already, though.

Where are you located? I live in Menard a couple of hours west of Austin. Have some potlickers that will run a lion. How big is the ranch where you are loosing goats? I am very particular where I turn these dogs loose.
Adios,
Gary

It's not my place. It's a guy at work in Schulenburg outside of La Grange where I live. I ain't foolin with him anymore. He got a pup from me and was telling me about this problem and how he doesn't know what to do. I told him I thought I could find someone pretty easy to run it with dogs and he gave me the go... Well, somebody sent me a PM and when I told the guy about it he acted like chasin it with silly ol dogs aint gonna work... Oh well. Thanks for asking though.
