Jeff,

Here's a photo of the lion I mentioned above. He was a nice 15 year old male in his prime. We estimated his weight at 600 pounds. Can you imagine yourself as a cow and having that monster sinking his teeth into your neck? We took the lion carcass to the bushmen's cattle encampment. We arrived there at 9:00 am. The lion was completely consumed by 11:00 am. And then they asked us if we were finished with the cow and two calf carcasses-which they promptly retrieve from the bush and continued their feast (keep in mind the dead cows had been in the sun for three days, had hyenas andbuzzardssnacking on them, and stunk to high heaven)!


Will, that is one HUGE cat!! Did you getany kind of a mount done on him? If so, could I be as newsy as to ask what something like that would cost? If you would rather not say, I understand.You've got some big ones!!I'm not talking about all of your trophys either.
