High country lion

Here's a cat my nephew Tanner killed a few days ago. Went out by himself with the hounds and treed this nice Tom. When he went to stick the cat he realized all his arrows were broke. Somehow he got a couple fixed enough to try and kill this cat. Long story short it was getting so late in the day he had to leave the cat in the tree with the dogs over night and return the next morning with his Dad Brent to get the cat. The dogs were still barking treed when they got there late the next morning. To make it even more exciting, on his way down off the mountain he fell throught the snow on top of a grizzly in it's den. It was quite an experience but he lived to tell about it. Anyway here are a couple shots of his hunt and cat. He estimated the cat to weigh around 140 lbs.
