Last week I cut lion track on the place, and followed it for a while, then gave up and headed back to check snares and do chores at home.
I told my son and last nite he decided, "Pops, I'm going to go up on the mountain and kill that lion you trailed".
I said, "Son, you just go ahead and do that..." {{{ Yeah, right. }}}
Running, 70 yards, after a long hike the rascal did it!!!
Pushing snow the whole way, his new corks were wearing a hole in his heal and he thought about turning around and heading home, but he decided to keep going. Rounded the top of Wilson a thousand feet higher than home, came around, crossed the fenceline on to our ranch, saw some crows and thought there must be a kill nearby. Then he saw it running hard. He swung the old FN .270 on it and killed it as it leapt for the south canyon.
I'm proud as punch.
Like many who live in the woods, he's never even seen a lion except this one!
52 deer this year he saved.
Did I say I'm proud of him?

My kid killed a lion and I'm proud of him.
