Left the house around 8pm to fish for a few hours for a tourny tomorrow...

Kurt and I head up the river, and see a pair of eye's
we get closer the tan spot gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

It was a Fuggin lion it was awsum, we were not more than 20-30 feet from it and it sat there drinking for a few mins then started walking away. I am trying to get the camera going and I left it on view the other day, once I changed it the lion was about 100 feet away. the pics came out black(how ever you can see them on the veiw section of the camera very faint)

That lion was at least 175 lbs and extreamly long.

I was so f-in excited thinking I finally got one on film (Almost just as good shooting one) only to come home and not be able to see it.
I am crying like a baby now...

Who knows how to fix pics, I can make out the rocks if I brighten it and barely see it...

Oh yeah back about the lion ...
we watched it slowly walk away and jump a 50 foot cliff to the top with like 3 leaps it was cool...
On the way back we saw a hug racoon with what we thought were 3-4 baby's turned out the baby's were ringtail cats following the coon around...

That's cool Del. Too bad about the pics, but seeing one is pretty cool.

Well I tried and tried, but dont look like it can work.

this was the best I can do and the best a buddy can do.

The spot light is on the lion. I found out that its best not to use a spot light cause it will deintensify the flash(from what I am told) this pic he was 30 feet away but ya cant see him anyhow

Yes I am going to try.
its in the park and its legal game according to sheriffs and game and fish.
the sheriff was telling me they transplaneted 2 out of there 4-5 weeks ago.. these were the ones that hung around the marina on the boat ramp and boat docks.
The one I have been eyeballing is 1/4 mmile from the city limits on the lake.

there is another on in humbug cove taht the sheriff was talking about also. but he is in the city limits..

I can either use a shotgun shooting shot or a Bow. I am going to try the bow tis week and next week I will try the shotgun.

I tried for quite a while with two different programs, but never could see the cat. Sorry bud. I had some pictures from a wake a while back that were all but black. After I monkeyed with them you could see everone in the pics. I was hoping I could hit paydirt twice.
