Lions in unit 8 ?

[Zoomer]

All the talk about the lions have got me to thinking
that I should pick up a tag to go along with my unit 8
deer tag in Oct.
Anybody out there ever hunt any lions in this unit?

I would guess the canyons in the wilderness area would be
a good place to start but I have never hunted a cat.

Any tips or how to's for a newbie ?

Is it sorta like hunting Deer?

Considering their low cost, a lion tag should be a Dec 25 stocking stuffer purchase by all for the next year.

Lion meat is really good eating.

If you see a lion, it will likely be incidental while glassing for deer on the canyon or mountain slopes, or while sitting a water hole. Be watchful also if you see a fresh kill buried under some forest litter.

There are lion every where, and unit 8 is no exception. I have heard a few different people say that they have seen some this week while elk hunting. I have seen their tracks around some tanks in there. Like Doug said we should all have a tag just in case...

before I head out.

Yep, I'm in unit 8 right now, sitting in a blind as I write waiting for a big 'ol gnarly bull to come take a mud bath! Yesterday I was lucky enough to see not one, but two lions !!!! Even knocked an arrow on one but he wouldn't come closer than 80 yards. Pretty cool! Okay...shhhhhh back to hunting! (lol isn't this Internet stuff great) hahaha
