“A lion’s work hours are only when he’s hungry; once he’s satisfied, the predator and prey live peacefully together.”
This lion hunt started with a coyote hunt in 2008. I had setup in a brush pile and started calling to see if I could get a dog to come in. I had been calling for about 3o minutes and was starting to think that the stand was a bust. I was about to give up when I noticed something moving in a little bush about 10 yards in front of me. At first I thought it was a bird but after I looked at it a little more I was able to figure out that it was the black spot on the tip on the tail of a Mountain Lion. To this day I have NO IDEA how he got so close without me spotting him. How did that animal get so close without me seeing him? The more I thought about it the more it freaked me out. If that cat wanted me there is no doubt that he could have been on me in one jump. I was amazed and impressed by this animals stealthiness. When I got home that night I knew that I needed to learn more about lions and I knew that I needed to match wits with one.
