Well I hope I'm not boring everybody to death with these, but here's the story.I found a lion track that I thought was pretty fresh in the snow first thing in the morning. turned out my 4 best dogs and figured I would be walking to a tree pretty quick. wrong. they took the lion several miles in the snow and then crossed a big valley and the same road up higher. the giant hill they were headed for was all dryground and the track was no fresher the second time crossing than the first. I decided to go up the road and see if it crossed again. sure enough a couple miles up the road it crossed again. I duped my 1 year old and two 5 month old pups on it and the chase was on. I went back to get my big dogs and speed up the chase but they were still poundin the dry hillside. I hiked up and got them and led them back to the truck. by the time we got back to where I turned the pups out a couple hrs had passed. the pups had took the track over the top. it took a couple more hrs to drive around to the other side and it was afternoon now. I couldn't belive how far this cat had travled. I got a reading on my pups and they were in a roadless area way up high. by now all the snow is gone exept for the shady spots on the north slopes. the pups were a couple miles up in this shady canyon and I started hiking up just to pull them and get em back to the truck. about 200 yards into the mouth of the canyon there came the lion track straight down the canyon and this time it was really fresh! I ran back to the truck and got my big dogs and at 200pm I was dumping out again. they ran it good in the snow and then hi the dry souths again and slowed down, but never really stopped. they were moving the cat pretty good and at 1.30 miles I lost them on the gps. I drove clear back to where I first turned out and they were treed right by the road!that cat had made about a 10 mile steep loop twice in one day! hats off to my little pups for trailing the cat all the way across the top and kicking it down so we could tree it. the only way it could have been better is if they treed it, but you never know maybe they did a couple times along the way.the black and tan pup at the tree is out of my black and white dogs and my bluetic, I don't know where the b and t genes came from?

no he really came from thunder and kennys dixie dog who is his thunders mom and dixie is hook and tuff crossed bandit and basses sister. just tons of walkers and bticks bred. I'm still puzzled?

Sounds like a great day for the dogs and yourself . Its about time you got a good looking dog in your pack. Does really matter where you got it from.

The mailman?

Seriously Jerrod, thanks for posting pics, keeps me going.

From a learning perspective though, is that a young Tom?

I had myself convinced it was a tom while I was trailing it. pretty big sprawled out track, but it wouldn't lift it's tail at the tree and I didn't spend alot of time there anyways. now lookin at the pics I want to say female for sure.

im starting to think we should change your name to poundnem 2010. good work keep them pics and stories coming

Thats a cool story, had a similar situation a few weeks back. Gotta love when the young dogs do good. How old is that Black pup? Looks young, good looking pup.

toby is about three months old now, but he got stepped on by my horse so he's a little behind schedule.

wow thats crazy....cool though

Great story thanks for sharing!!!!
