Northern New Mexico Mountain Lion

[Emptyfossil]

We had dropped the dogs at daylight and they had this tom treed 7-8 hours later. We hiked in approximately four miles to find two of the six dogs had finally figured this wiley tom out. I took him with my compound bow with one shot to the lungs. I believe he will score greater than 15" I will post info when it is officially scored. It was an extreme adrenaline rush and I am thankful for this opportunity.

This lion was taken Nov. 11 th, 2012 with Pinnacle Outfitters. If anyone is interested in taking a lion I would highly recommend using this outfit. I had waited a long time to go on a lion hunt, and did a lot of research before narrowing it down. Alan and his hounds did an exceptional job helping me fulfill my long awaited dream of harvesting a magnificent lion. He can be contacted at (304) 667-8138.

I love lion hunters just because a lion is hard to hunt and they hurt our deer population a lot.

Beautiful cat. I agree with some of the above sentiments.
I assume you didnt have an elk hunt to go on. ;-)

 

[Emptyfossil]

No elk, deer, oryx, antelope, bighorn sheep or bear draw. But was successful on over the counter bear and cougar. They were both great experiences.

Awesome, the other was an inside joke. I killed a cat earlier during my ML elk hunt and I made the elk hunt the priority. Some disagreed on that. Beautiful cat you got.

Alan and his hounds amazed me! It was worth every penny and I will be using them again. If you have any other questions please let me know and I would be glad to answer them!
