Thanks everyone. I had been wanting a cat for some time now.

I had some backstrap last night, and WOW, that is some fine tasting meat! Probably the best wild game meat I have had. If you hear it taste like porkchops, believe it. My 6 year old daughter said the same thing. She wanted more.     My wife would not have anything to do with it though.

Awsome story,  you answered my ? Before I could ask.... I always wondered what the large cats taste like.... Great job!!

Tracy--
Congrats.  I'm just now trying to get caught up a little as my hunting starts to slow down a little.  That first photo of the cat in the tree...WOW.  Makes me wonder also how often you western guys walk right under them while they decide whether you look tasty or worth the effort or not.  

Perfect!  Congratulations!

That is my dream hunt right there! Congrats! Awesome pics and story.

Shedrock absolutely awesome story. Beautiful pics, and a unforgetable hunt right there. Looking forward to my first kitty hunt. Can't say though it would be in as a pretty a setting as yours though. Congrats

Tracy, congratulations that was a fine read and you made a really good shot.  Like Robin, I would like to see some pictures of the hounds if you have any.

Randy, have you put the new pup onto a trail yet?

Sorry guys, this is the only hound pic I got. My camera was in my pack most of the time, and my eyes were on the ground. Thanks for the kind words, it was a heck of a fun hunt.

I can get another lion tag Jan 1st, and I'll be out looking for another "deer killer".

Thanks Shedrock, looking forward to hearing about another hunt in the new year. I know your hooked on hound music and lion backstrap now.  

Awesome pictures!!  If you shot a female around here they'd linch ya!!    Different circumstances completely though.

Congrats on a super hunt.  Unreal!!

Randy, the last time I let a kitty (a female) go up the canyon the head biologist lectured me about saving the bighorns and "strongly recommended" we not do that anymore.  However, anywhere but in the peaks Unit you are correct.

Love those Big Cats! CONGRATS! TD.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

That is a DREAM hunt for me.  

I'd also have to dream up a way to pay for a full mount....cause no way I wouldn't get that....I would just HAVE to.

Some day........          

How about this one from last year

 Great pics and story, congrats!  

Good shootin! Thanks for sharing.
