Other states are catching on.

Good post Kain! :tup:

Chances of making those observations while boot hunting or even at a calling stand are pretty much nil. Size would be the only observation you could likely get/

If I see one without spots, that's enough for me. Too many of them around anyway!

Let's see which ones I got wrong :chuckle:

Quote

Two or more sets of tracks together usually indicate a female with kittens. X
Tracks of this size would indicate: X
Hunters must personally present the hide and skull of a lion to FWP within 10 days of the kill X
Don't post the answers, just the ones you got wrong don't want to spoil it.

give it a day or two then argue the test :chuckle:

I buy the tag every year, just in case- But I really hope if I use it isn't in self defense.
