The wife and I got to run our first lion today here in Western Montana. It was a blast!!! I can see why some of you guys are hooked on the hounds!!!

We got a fresh inch of snow last night. We started driving roads behind the house and cut our first track in let than an hour of driving. Appeared to be a good size cat and the chase was on!

Did you shoot it or just take a picture? Looks like a nice size cat to me.

Very cool

Congrats. I've always wanted to run cats like that. After killing my first cougar this year im hooked. Nothing in the world compares to being face to face with a mature lion.

musta been hard not to shoot that thing

LittleJohn · « **Reply #7 on:** January 09, 2014, 08:15:45 PM »

My wife is hooked big time. She really wanted to shoot this guy. She will have her name in the hat for a permit next year.

Got some amazing video of this lion bailing out of the tree, at least 35 feet up. I have no clue how to post it.

We saw 4 other sets of tracks on the way home. Dogs will have a day off and run again Saturday!!

A great guy up there in Marion, MT is Terry Zink, just a super nice guy and one of the best houndsmen I have ever met. Nothing wrong with treeing and photos, nothing wrong with that at all. See many wolf tracks?

LittleJohn · « **Reply #16 on:** January 10, 2014, 04:36:57 PM »

No fresh wolf track where we cut tracks. Wolves have changed hound hunting, thats for sure!

LittleJohn would you like Terry Zink's contact information? They put on a Hound Field Trial every year just north of you in Eureka. It's awesome, 100 hounds usually show up. Lots and lots of guys to meet. They have a treeing contest, water races, drag races great food and several kid events. Free camping, it's a really good time! Let me know and I can PM you his information.

If you want to post the video, post it to YouTube first and then paste the link. The video will show up. Very cool cat, man. Nicely done.

Beautiful cat pics!

Awesome ... I would be happier than heck if we could just chase lions and take photos .. I would be just fine with that ..people who never ran hounds have no idea the time -money and pain and the reward that comes from it
