I recently have just taken a nice tom and am currently searching for some ideas on a pose. I have a few ideas, I'm not a huge fan of the in your face growling lion. I already have one mounted laying on a rock and I am trying to come up with one either walking or treed. Does anyone have a picture of their lion or some sort of feline mounted they'd like to share. Thanks!
I have put a few picture below of him, he is the best cat that I have seen in a tree in the 9 years I have been going. We estimate him at 160 lbs his skull is 14 7/8 over all length is 90 inches tip to tip. He gave a us a great chase over about 6 miles round trip and a couple real nice trees. I don't have much for pictures of him in the tree but I included one below (My buddy has them all). I pondered shooting him for about 15 or so minutes because I have been holding out for quite some time for a good mature tom. I took him with my bow on the third time he treed and wouldn't you know it he was only 50 yards from a logging road! It couldn't of gotten any sweeter! One of the best things about the hunt was having a new pup with us and it was his first lion experience, I leashed him the entire time and he did a awesome job trailing the lion and other dogs. When we got to the tree he didn't know what to think of the cat up there and to my surprise he didn't bay once with the other dogs. Once the cat came outta the first tree he climbed down about 10 yards in front of me and the pup looked at me like "your NUTS if you think I chasing that thing!" It all worked out in the end though.
