Here's a photo of a tom lion I treed a couple of winters ago. As usual after a fresh snow, I got out to look for lion tracks. By 10:00 AM I had this guys tracks located. I drove over some roads in the area looking to see if I could find where the lion had crossed again, thus cutting off some...

Spring Bear Hunting on the Pecos
As we drove up the rugged mountain road, the orange-red tinge in the eastern sky was becoming just bright enough to see if a bear track had come off the soft cut bank beside the road. As we drove along my John and I talked about wildlife, weather and game...
Just wondering if there is anyone out there that does not use locator collars on your dogs. I read about the old time houndsmen that somehow kept within hearing of their hounds or had little tricks to find them. Montigue Stevens used to have a dog with him that would lead him to the pack. Are...
Cat Hunt,
I do not spend much time chasing bobcats, but when I do get one I usually give it away. Got a tom last week and gave it to a friend, he's going to do a full body mount. Where do you hunt? How has your season been?

General,
Thanks for the post. I am getting some new pics developed as we speak! I'll get them on here as soon as possible.

Cuban,
Great to see you post here! I was beginning to think you'd never do it! I'v enjoyed hunting with you on your bear hunt and now on your lion hunt, we'll get that big guy yet!

Here is a pic of a nice male lion I treed a few years ago. The person in the picture is a good friend of mine and he actually shot the lion.
I went out hunting one day after 6" of fresh snow. As I was by myself, I stopped at a friend's house to see if he wanted to go with me. He said, "I...
Well guys and gals,
Not much of a story to tell except lots of snow! I got to hunt one day (we found a lion track half an hour before dark). We went back the next day to run the track, but it had snowed about 6" and was snowing and blowing. It snowed all that day, and the next, and the next...
Fresh snow on the ground, clear skies, gone to look for some putty cats. Hopefully I'll have a good story in a few days!

Cali,
I started out guiding summer trail rides for a local guest ranch during my summer breaks from school. I feel like I was cut out for this as horses and hunting have always been my main interest. From there I expanded into working during the fall and after I graduated from high school I...
I know this has been brought up before, but I was just curious what you hound hunters have had the best luck with? My best hound to date was a female Walker, but I have a young male Black and Tan that may rival her soon. What has been your experience?

Thank you ladies and gentlemen,
I do feel lucky to live where I do and have the opportunity to hunt as much as I do. It is a great feeling! Thanks for the compliments on the pic.

Cali,
As Bcat said, there are folks who make a living at guiding, but they are few and far between. Most of the outfitters I know have some other type of income. I myself have a regular job as a firefighter that pays the bills. I am fortunate to have a job that allows me to have two days...
Tobey,
I personally use a .44 pistol. I would not recommend using anything less than a .357 mag. If you are confortable shooting with a pistol you will have the definate advantage of not having to carry a rifle on this type of hunt. I want my hunters to use a gun that kills the lion on the...
Bcat,
Thanks for bringing this back to the top just when things were quieting down. I read many of your posts that basically said, please guys let this go, the guy has had enough. Then YOU decide to bring this issue up again. I already said I screwed up and appologized for it. WHAT DO YOU...
Thank you Michele, it's good to be back!

Our snow here is getting pretty patchy so hunting conditions are marginal. My friend and his hunter had been hunting for three days and had run another cat, but could not catch it. I went out to give him a hand yesterday.
First thing in the morning, he found a fresh lion track that had come...
Muledeer4me,
I know what you mean about the drivers, same thing happens around Albuquerque when it snows. Roads and interstates close and town just about shuts down. Keep an eye out for those lion tracks and don't get scratched when you check the kitty cat's paws. By the way, we treed a nice...
