We sat in a small dry river bed for about 7 hrs straight waiting, taking turns watching from a distance of about 200 yards from decoy. I use the 300 weatherby mag mark v deluxe for the cougar because I rarely take it as my hunting rifle (don't want to scratch it and rounds are expensive) and since I can't go hunting a real african lion on safari anytime in near forseeable future, this will have to suffice for now. I have a win model 70 300wsm that I Elk hunt with and got rem 700 3006, 8mm mauser, 30-30, ak, ar15 for whitetail, hogs and varmints. I saw the lion tracks in that area about a month back. I will report back on outcome Sunday. Leaving out Friday after lunch.
