Uh ya, hello boys!! I wasn't joking about a guy telling me that, he really did. He looked me straight in the eye and told me that story and there were 4 of us there, I was the only one that even blinked. Of course, they weren't hound guys but still, 13 feet?? If I told a bunch of hound guys about a 74" buck my buddy had shot, I'd expect them to at least blink!!!
But judging from some of other tales this chap has told me since, that 13 foot lion is one of the more believable stories he has!!! He'd make a helluva hound guy if he could just tone his stories down a bit... knock a couple feet off his lions, 20 lbs or so off his fish, and 15 inches off his mule deer... and stop scoring his elk in the 500's...
Ummmm peyote, that sounds yummy.
But for the record, I don't even believe in 8 foot toms, so 13 foot is beyond even an LSD or Acid trip for me!!
I just listened to him tell the story and then went home and scrubbed and scrubbed trying to get the "STUPID" off that was apparently written across my forehead.
