Touch and Go on the Kaibab......

[Azlongears]

Dogman and I headed to the North Rim for a lion race this past week. And that is exactally what we got!!!

 

We turned out on a female track first thing in the morning and the dogs trailed her 3 miles up a canyon till they couldn't work it anymore. During our race up the canyon we must have kicked out this tom because on our way back to the truck, the hounds hit him fresh on top of all our tracks from the way up!!! They blew out of there hot on his trail and it was all we could do to keep up.

 

They had him caught in about an hour in a spot neither Dogman nor I wanted to deal with.

 

Hap walked about a 30 foot ledge that was 10 inches wide and 200 feet straight off to the bottom of the canyon to get to at this lion. He was the only dog that followed the lion out there and was too scared to come back across the ledge to us.

 

We had to get all of the other hounds out of there and go find some rope to rescue the star of the show. Everything worked out, and we all made it back safe. We figured the lion to be a nice mature tom, took some pictures and called it a day. It was a pretty amazing expereince, thanks again Randy.

They were standing in the road near the east side game trail. Between there and the HQ. Way up Rock Canyon we saw some fresh tracks while running our dogs.
