I got back from Diamond MT Utah on Monday with a big tom lion. Shot at 4 yards with my Bowtech 82nd airborne. 1 mile hike up a big mountain in 10-12 inches of snow. Killed within 8 hours on my first day of hunting.

I will go on one of these hunts before I check out of this life, if at all possible. I would love to have one of those made into a rug.

Joel-

Way to go bud - that is super cool.

I have a very short list of species that I'd like to one day pursue, that's surely one of them.

LIfesize for sure. This hunt is a A$$ kicker. You guys get in shape if you want to do it. I have had the opportunity to hunt and kill Blk Bear elk shiras moose antelope buffalo mule deer whitetail and cougar The lion hunt was the hardest most exciting hunt I have been on. What a rush for sure. The lion outfitter I used has never had a unsucsessful lion hunter. If any of you want his info let me know. Joel

I dont think I could bring myself to eat it either. The dogs seemed to really enjoy it though. Thanks for all the nice comments. Joel
