Everybody THANKS!
Randy, thanks for the link; I had lost it, as well as my word version of the hunt, with the latest computer crash. I still get numerous requests each year for it and with a little work it will save me from having to redo it (though a new version might be embellished even further).
I would like to expand/update on one point that influenced my decision to start hunting mountain lions, as stated in the thread:
“For those of you who haven’t hunted mountain lions it’s hard to describe the conflicting feelings that were rushing through my head. In the tree, I feel, was one of the most noble and beautiful animals there is, anywhere. However, there sat one of the most efficient killers of the critters I love to hunt, elk, deer, and big horn. This particular lion hunting unit was formed due to decreasing survival rates of the big horn sheep seven (?) years back, leading to the loss of our big horn season. The area biologist increased the lion quota resulting in an increased big horn survival rate. According to the biologist current numbers are almost back up to target levels, which should result in restoring the big horn season in two years.”
Update:
Two years ago our Big Horn season was reinstated and one of my lion hunting buddies got a 180 5/8” ram, which we and the biologist believe is the first B&C ram ever taken in this unit. He used a rifle so I will not post a picture.
