got the oppurtunity to take a special needs hunter from conneticut on his first lion hunt. found a track before daylight. on crusty frozen snow walking ontop of melted deer tracks. couldn't see the track after it crossed the road so we just had to trust the dogs. this cat took us all day through some of the nastiest roadless country southern utah has to offer. got up to the top of cliffs where the dogs were treeing and coundn't see a thing. after scolding the dogs for what I thought was false treeing, I climbed to where I could see into a small cave. the cat saw me, looked up at the dogs and took a suicide leap off the 100+ foot cliff. hit the bottom and didn't miss a beat. put another 3 miles in front of us. hiked the dogs around and got down and back on the chase. treed and killed! took us most of the night to hike back out to the truck. hats off to this young man for giving it his all and hiking farther in one day than most people do in a month! special thanks to a fellow houndsman that helped us out on this hunt. me and him forgot all our water and food and got lost on the way out, making ourselves look like compete ametures.lol this was the hunt of a lifetime and alot of hard trailing was good for the dogs too!

Great job Jared, Wife and I are headed down today for a week got two tags to fill. Can not wait to walk those cliffs again.

That's what it's all about helping people and making dreams come true. Some times it helps if that sob will tree right next to the rode after a thirty minute chase. But hay wears the fun in that right LOL. Hats off to all that helped making a dream come true for that young man.

leeroy, you can have that crap. I hate cliffs. we turned out on the sands and killed almost down on the virgin! cats are gettin thin up there, but with as many deer as there is there has got to be a few more somewhere. good luck to ya.

Amateurs isn't the word my good hell I don't think I've ever struggled so bad in my life as I did that day from running down the freeway 80+ with my 4 wheeldrive in first thing in the morning to getting us lost for a min. hiking out oh and not taking a pack with water and food but that had to be one of the funnest hunts that I've been on in awhile and our dogs did awesome plus we got some young dogs going better. Thanks for letting me tag along we need to go out and catch another one soon it's always a good time hunting with good people.

Thanks again,Chris La Corti
