CouesWhitetail Report post Posted March 18, 2011 My experiance with this lion is a pretty good story. A few years back, I was exploring some washes in one of my favorite areas. Coming up to an S-shaped turn in one wash, I suddenly had the old feeling that something was watching me. Coming to a stop, I scanned the area ahead of me to no avail. But, I knew something was there. Raising my rifle, I looked into the shadows through my scope. Seeing nothing, I started to lower my rifle and at that instant this lion stood up on a shelf about five feet up the side of the wash seventy feet ahead of me. It jumped back into the brush in a flash. Never having been accused of possessing an overabundance of brains, I set my scoped bolt-gun down, pulled my .45 and charged into the brush after it but did not see it again. Completely juiced from that experiance, I drove fifty miles straight to Wal-Mart and bought a trailcam and drove back. About fifty yards from where I saw the lion, I found a tree that it used as a signpost. Setting the camera up on this tree, I left the area and returned the next morning to find my first lion pics! I was hooked. I bought more cameras and started working the area. I was able to determine that this lion travels through this area around the third week of the month almost every month. I have seen this lion two other times but have yet to get a good shot. One time while hiking into the area where I set up my cams, I turned to see the lion paralleling me but it disappeared into the brush before I could raise my rifle. Another time after sneaking through this brush weekly for six months without firing a shot, I gave into temptation. Standing on a small ridge, I looked down to see a jackrabbit move out of the brush and sit in the clear area in the center of the wash. I decided to take a shot. Instantly after shooting, I hear a loud growl and look down to see the lion run from the brush near the rabbit. I suspect that if I had waiting a few seconds, I would have seen the lion jump on the jackrabbit. Another time, I did not have time to check my cams during the day so like an idiot I hiked in around 8pm. Having obtained a few pics, I decided to return in the morning and try to call the lion in. Well the next morning, I saw my tracks from the night before with lion tracks on them all the way down the ridge almost to where my truck was! Good times. I could go on and on about this. It has been about three years now and one day one of us is going to get whacked. I hope it is me whacking the lion and not the other way around but you pay to the admission and take your chances. In my opinion, that is what it is all about. Later. FYI: The object hangin in some of my pics is a clump of foil I use as an attractant. I also have found that the old catnip trick works as well. Loved all the stories!! Good luck in your quest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZbowhntr Report post Posted December 5, 2013 Here is a picture I got of a lion the other day while down south hunting coues with my phone. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get set up and take a shot at it. It was at 650 yds when I first ranged it but it started moving off further away and it slipped into the brush. How much country do they regularly travel? It was watching some deer that were feeding below it about 50 yds towards me. I was hoping it would follow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted January 9, 2014 These pics were taken an hour from the valley. Got pics of the lion coming 2 out 3 nights at almost the exact same time....Must be a local to the water hole. The dates are wrong on the pics, I'm going after this Tom. Is it just me or is that one massive cat?! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
