Love hearing everyone's sightings. Really a cool animal. It really is that tail that makes you go "No [censored], it's a lion!" The old man and a buddy went and tried to call it a few nights ago, only foxes showed up. I am hoping I will have better luck

There a guy here in Texas with bluetick hounds that tree's many every year, some in South Texas and many around Big Ben. On my old lease he treed three in one day a large female and two of her offspring.
Let's all of them go.

Incredible, still can't believe it. In the Polaris headed to our property from the easement side and there's a BIG cat on the gravel road. One jump and it was up onto the hill and slinking away into the trees. It was more red than they look in photos, huge long tail it used to balance on the hillside. Me and my fiancé couldn't believe how much power it had to get up on those rocks in one jump. I will be bringing more than just a little .22 when I go check my traps  I'm really excited to try to call this thing in soon. Even if I never get a shot at it, it was awesome to see. Huge long tail it used to balance on the hillside.....lol!!!

Sure would be fun to tree them with hounds. After seeing that video that was floating around today of a Doberman getting snatched up by one, I wonder if they ever turn around on a dog  I'm just assuming they run BIG packs of dogs at a time... Booner- it did! After it made the jump it was, from what I assume using its tail to keep balance on some pretty steep rocks. Don't know why else it would have its tail up and out. I didn't mean like Tigger

He runs two or three at a time. Sometimes the hounds do get killed when the catch the lion on the ground.
I asked the same thing, the lions pull the hounds in with their paws and one bite behind the neck and there gone.

they don't stay in one location very long unless they have just made a kill x2 - home range of hundreds of square miles. We have one that comes by every couple of years; neighborhood will buzz a day or two with sightings, then nothing for a year or more. My guess is once they see a human, they keep going a mile or more in the opposite direction . . . .
