I am the the guy that shot the first tom. The first shot on the tom was with my bow. The arrow hit a branch and struck the lion one inch too far forward with little penitration. We treed the lion the second time and I could not get a clear line of sight as he treed in a pine tree. I am a person that will not take six shots at an animal just to say it was bow kill so I decided to use a rifle to put the odds in my favor. There was no deflection with the bullet and the Lion was dispatched immediately.
Thanks cat, was just curious! Again Beauty lion!
I was able to get a nice lion as well this year, greens 15 6/16 P&Y. Four years till I finally shot an arrow!
Congrats. on your cat. Did you use the services of an outfitter or do you have dogs? Could you post a picture?
Four years is a long time to wait but you were rewarded with a good tom.
I have a friend with hounds, he is on a lion as we speak, meanwhile I am stuck at work!!
4 years was a long time but very worth it, we have great storys of other cougars and sweet pics and video of them as well.
anyway I will try to post a pic!
PM me with your email and I can at least forward you some pics!
Does anyone know why I don't get a picture of the "cat" in Herd Master's original post? All I get is a box with an X in it. It must be something to do with my computer settings. Any ideas??
