Thank you for taking that big cat out of the system.
Will you be doing a mount with it, he is one big Tom. Probably was almost as much as you.
Just curious what a hunt like that would run?if it's with in my means I'll like to do one.

The hunt wasn’t cheap. Been planning and researching for a four years. Booked this two years ago with an outfitter  that kills a lot of big cats. We used to, side by sides, mules, and hiked . They know the area very well . Had three rotations of dogs so we had fresh dogs every day. When you count up everything. Guide, lodging and food was on my own, a tip, plane tickets and rental car. I’m north of $10,000 on this hunt already. He’s a really big cat so I am doing a life size mount with some habitat. Philip Soucy in Montana is going to mount him. Probably one of the best cat/lion taxidermist in the country. That’s going to be $7,000 + for the mount. Was a bucket list hunt. Not sure I will do one again or get a chance at a bigger cat. So wanted to do it right this time.

Did they have you on "stand by?" Reason I ask is, I was in the midst of doing a cat hunt in North Idaho, until my wife used that money to get me Montana Spring bear hunt. But talking with the guides, they recommended being on standby instead of just booking a week in advance. That way it could be timed better with snow conditions and cat movement.  I was ok with stand by, just because it was Northern Idaho and could be there fairly quickly. But not sure I could just drop everything and shoot to Utah
