Title: Colorado Lion
Post by: HuntnFishnFun on February 01, 2015, 06:12:02 AM
I went in early 2014 and after 5 days we never cut a good track and the rain showed up. The guide asked if I could come back in late 2014 or early 2015 when the weather was right.
We found a few week old elk kill and his tracks so the race started, 4 miles later the Tom had killed a deer the day before and dragged it about 300 yards. He was guarding his deer when the dogs jumped him, he treed 3 different times then jumped off a 30' cliff. Then he went into a cave and that's were the adrenalin level maxed out, we pulled 3 dogs out of the hole so I could get in to take a shot. Me the Tom and one dog in the cave and I shot him at 3 feet! I can't wait to do it again

What did you shoot him with? I think I'd rather have a pistol at 3'!  :chuckle:

It is quite a rush looking in to the eyes of an angry cat from that close. Got mine from 5 ft face to face. 
Congrats!!

Shot it with the old 30-30.

Yes the guide was great on saying that I paid for the hunt so he would get me a cat.

That's the way it was some years back with Cat hunt's, glad to still hear of this. Good Outfitter in my book, kind I would like to see more of. Guess I'm showing my age.

Mind sharing the name of the outfitter?  What area of Colorado?

They guessed him at 140 lb. Figured he was only 4 years old so we will see on that when the tooth info comes back.
I was just east of Grand Junction the guides name is Fred Wallace of Cat Track Outfitters. They are great people and his dogs were very good also.
