Story revised here to ensure happiness among all hunters.

This cat was killed on 11/28/15 in Dryden Tx. Saturday morning I got up actually mule deer hunting, after sitting till bout 9:30am I decided to get out my varmint call and try my luck. We have hunted this ranch for 18 years and have never even seen a lion much less called one in. The wind was out of the north so I set up on a high bankment of a large draw with the wind in my face. I turned the call on and within 30 minutes had this guy running in. He propped up at 88 yards facing me so only shot I had was in the neck. once I spotted him in my binoculars I couldn't believe what I was seeing. a 22-250 drop this guy and my excitement sky rocketed. My first ever sighting and kill of a beautiful mt. lion

Congrats!! That's a once in a lifetime trophy for sure. Now where's the story?!?!?

Too busy trying to sell more hunts in the photo section to tell the story.

Congrats.

most of us like to hear the story

Congrats on the lion. If you're gonna be in sales, you better be able to take a little good natured ribbing from potential customers.

How did the lion tree in those creosote bushes?

well when you post the outfitter name and contact info with a picture and no story I would think that is advertisement. Really doesn't bother me but you should prob read the rules.

Its a young lion.

Looks like it, but then again, not many reach an old age anymore.

We are a sensitive bunch...lol

Those front paws look big..

Nice story. Never have seen a mountain lion in the wild, but would love to.

Congrats!!! Those front deer grabbers look huge!

Very cool. I think most of us would love to have a chance at a Mt Lion.

Awesome!

Nice. Good to see a pic of a lion shot in Texas.

Good lion and great story. Hunting that country with hounds can be difficult as the dog pear is really bad in some areas. Calling is a great option but one has to be extremely lucky to be in hearing of a lion when he makes a stand.
Adios,
Gary

Once in a lifetime opportunity right there. That's awesome

Congratulations on a nice lion.

Congrats on a great trophy
