70 Year Old Lion Hunter

I was reading my latest LONE STAR OUTDOOR NEWS this morning and under the "Game Warden Blotter" see where a 70 year old lion hunter from North Texas got lost in Brewster County. Story goes he rode away from camp on a mule, but it broke away and left the man on foot. Eight game wardens and family members assisted in the search. The hunter became disoriented and lost his sense of direction but wandered into a neighboring ranch which notified authorities.
I am not sure who this hunter was but hope he gathered his dogs back up and made it home in good shape.
Adios,
Gary

Would not have been too long ago as it just made the magazine. Must have been a pretty big deal as Texas Parks and Wildlife brought in a chopper along with the 8 game wardens.
Adios,

No, the hunter made it home safely thank goodness. Evidently, the fellow in this article did not fair so well.
Adios,
