Didn't see the first one taken by Lake Upsilon but got to put my hands on this one and it was big. I think it was the third time they had the dogs on this cat!

That's a nice lion, is he going to mount it or make a rug? Should be a lot of good meals too.

They are a breed of their own for sure. I had the good fortune of working with a semi-retired houndsman in Utah for a few years . I just googled his name and found an interesting read from that tribe. At first I was hesitant to believe his stories so "Spence" showed me some pictures, They really do try to grab a cat by the tail. One of the craziest story tellers I have ever met with pictures to back them up. He is in the middle of the second picture.

Congrats to the hunters.
I wouldn't be turning my back on a cat either and I sure wouldn't be trying to grab on to a live one, to each their own I guess.

Is a beard a prerequisite to becoming a lion hunting houndsman? Asking for a friend

One of my greatest enjoyments as a kid with hunting was after evening chorus and supper in the winter to go to the barn with the half wild kitty cats (who came running as soon as I walk out the kitchen door with my Red Ryder), go upstairs and shoot sparrows. Due to the worn out Red Ryder and winter feathers the gun would mostly only knock the birds down and the cats then took over. Never did lose one in the hay. Not sure why I did enjoy that time with the cats or even the sport in it as the sparrow was a sitting target for my Red Ryder. Help a lot when the barn was full of hay as one could get closer to the rail in the ceiling.

When I was young a neighbor used wolf hounds to hunt rabbits and foxes. He was successful at it but I have not seen that done in a long time. Like what was said to each their own but for me I just do not see using dogs to tree a cat to harvest anymore that using the cats on the sparrows a long time ago. I did say to each their own and yes I have shot deer as they came up for breakfast or supper on my food plots. db
