Calves out  :chuckle:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Dandy lion Matt, congrats!
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

Matt, you don't know how glad I was when I found out Brian found a track yesterday morning, I was really worried about your hunt.

We had Matt come hunting because the weather report called for fresh snow, instead there was rain and now there's even less snow. I'm in Washington so I missed out on Matt's hunt, a real bummer. Anthony and Brian have been covering a ton of ground both bare ground and what snow is left, finally they found a track that they chased all day mostly on bare ground and through lots of rocks, at one point I guess they thought they lost it, they treed it several times and the cat would rest and jump out before they could get to it, Brian told me it's one of the toughest cougar he's chased. Sounds like a heck of hunt Matt, I can't wait to see the show.  :tup:

sounds like a great hunt, i know all of us washingtonians sure miss being able to run hounds, what is the name of your huntn show, excuse me for my ignorance, not knowing the name of your show i am sure its been mentioned before, but i wouldnt mind seeing a hound hunt, kinda sick of whitetail hunts, if i ever see one again it will be to soon....... more hounds, more predators and how about a couple blacktail in washington. maybe get a show of someone spearing a bear over bait, if you need someone to be your spear chukar i will gladly put my name in the hat.......

Way cool, congrats on a successful hunt and a fine Lion!   :tup:
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.
