While archery hunting deer north of Payson a few years ago. It was labor day, around 7a.m., sitting in my double bull blind when two cats approached my water hole. I drew back as they walked by but I couldn't release because they were side by side and a pass thru would have hit both. Also, 35yrds was farther than anything I had ever killed and was out of my comfort zone. No camera, and who was going to believe this was running thru my mind as they drank. I had made up my mind I wouldn't attempt a shot. Then the cats turned and headed right towards my blind. They were there before I had a chance to pull my bow back. They circled the side I had brushed-up with no windows open. I opened a window and the only thing seperating me from the cats were a few sticks and brush. It startled me so bad I dropped the window and the lions continued on around behind me. That is when I got up out of my chair and opened the back flap. There, standing 8 yrds away looking in at me, was I dreaming? :o With one motion I drew as I knelt on one knee and released. I shook so bad and my mind was in fast forward. I don't remember aiming. Had I missed? Was it a bad hit? Were both lions waiting on me? I was a reck! After 20 minutes I climbed out and saw some blood. I drove back to camp and returned with my father to find the cat 75yrds away. :)

Milke, thanks for finishing the story. I tried to keep it short. There's no doubt that it will happen to you with the amount of time you spend out there. I just hope I'm there when it goes down.

My personal best hunt has to be my Desert Bighorn

2003 Unit 43A

The Ram scored 157 and was the largest ram to come out of that unit in 5 years.

I have better pictures but showed the first one to show typical sheep hunting.

Look down on the desert floor, that is a full size crew cab truck.

The second picture is of my GREAT crew. Thanks again guys
