We got two more cow elk yesterday evening.

We have a half dozen lions roughly located, just waiting for one to make a move away from the rocks. We lost a cat the other day in some really bad cliffs. It was a hot track, the dogs were smoking the trail, but the cat headed for the cliffs and lost the dogs in the rocks. Brian and Anthony had to repell down to recover the dogs.

The area we are hunting has plenty of cats but there are rocks and cliffs everywhere, makes it a real challenge to catch a cat.

that has been a problem for my family also, they almost had to call in a heli to retrieve a dog once

looking forward to more lion pics

The last week has been super busy, I think we have taken 12 cow elk since my last post. I will try to round up some photos to post of some of the hunts. Have also seen a few bruiser bucks on winter range, in fact one spotted today by one of my guides is probably a 190's buck and another buck is an 8x10 but not as high of scoring. Will try to capture a photo off of some video footage when I get a chance. We are up at 3 or 4 am most mornings and not to bed until about 10 or 11 PM most nights, lack of sleep is catching up...

I get to sleep in till 6AM tomorrow....

Anthony cut a cat yesterday afternoon, he put the dogs on it, and followed helping them through the rocks. Along the way the cat actually walked and stepped on a 5 point elk shed, finally just before dark he had to pull the dogs off the track when they got rocked up again, so we didn't get the cat.

But the 5 point elk shed is awesome, we measured it last night, all the points were from 14" to 21", 48" main beam, circums ranged from 7" to 9.5". The one side totalled 140, so if the other side matched and if the bull had a 40" spread he would have been a 320" 5 point bull. I would love to see that bull this coming year.

There are some really neat views and sights, the beauty of the landscape is breathtaking, I always take lots of photos in Utah.

Wonderful photos, bearpaw. Really enjoying them!

Man, I wish we were having winter here. It's been mid 50's with 5 - 7000 ft snow levels... Not much good for locating cats to call in the Olympics! (I've got several guys who want me to go with them, to call and film.)

Those frosty, fresh snow pics are making me envy a little!
