My First Oregon Lion!
« on: February 16, 2013, 08:12:30 AM »
While shed hunting we'd been locating an area where a lion or lions had been clobbering a wintering deer herd.

Yesterday my friend and I went in there and using blacktail distress sounds from his FoxPro, this big tom came sneaking in after 40 minutes of calling and waiting. I spotted him slightly to my left at 60 yds.

Nice mature male that we figured weighed at least 150 lbs.  Managed to tie the whole thing on the packboard, but was one of, if not thee heaviest pack I've had the pleasure of humping out of the woods. For comparison, I'm 6'3" and weigh 230#.

If we ever get the use of hounds again, I might try to let the air out of one with my recurve.  Thought about sitting a treestand and calling also.
