RE: dogs 1-lions 0
bow; If it had been a monster sized cat, or if it was killing livestock, we would have probably taken it. Otherwise, we just pursue them for the sport. If one is taken, you can never run that cat again. Females are never taken unless they are stock killers, (at least by the fellows I hunt with). Lion is very tasty and is prefered by many who have eaten it over deer, elk, or antelope. Didn't get any pictures of this one. I seldom post pictures as they become the property of the websites and are subject to show up any time and any place. Anti hunters often look for anything that they can use against hunting on the hunting sites. When Idaho hunters were fighting Prop II a few years, a proposition that would have taken most of the bear and lion hunting away from the state by law, there was a home made film clip made by a couple of local guides that ended up being used against us, and rightfully so. The hunt was illigal, the bear being shot was just a cub, the client was a true "slob" hunter that couldn't place his shot for a humane kill, and sent the wounded cub into a pack of dogs that had not been tied back from the tree and filmed the dogs killing the cub. That isn't what hound hunting is about, yet that was portrayed to the public and was a very effective tool against any hound or bear hunting. For the future of the sport of hunting, we need to guard against giving the wrong impression to those who don't know what hunting is about.
