Great story and that's a really nice buck, congratulations to your buddy. Now as for you, I'm speechless. There are very few people that ever get such a once in a lifetime opportunity such as that but what's even more important is you DIDN'T screw it up!! That is AWESOME !!

That is amazing! Great story, awesome buck and too cool about the lion!
The guys on my lease tell me that they've heard lions from time to time, but we've never seen one.

Thanks for all the kind words guys.
There is actually a pretty funny back story to this that makes it even more special if that is even possible.
Me, Cameron, and Nick, the same guys that I was with when we killed the lion, All went calling the very first time together. Nick had called in a bobcat to probably 50yds and I flat missed him in the wide open. This bobcat was huge, Im going to say it was pushing 40lbs if not more. And this was the first time ever to go calling. Well they haven't stopped raggin me for years sayin "You missed the biggest bobcat any of us have ever seen!" I mean anytime calling is brought into conversation they would bring it up. It just seems meant to be that I would redeem myself with a true Big Cat.
I am looking at getting it mounted life size, it will make your nose start bleeding when you hear how much that will run you, but It's a once in a lifetime deal and I will find a way to get it done. Thanks guys.

I have no affiliation with the Flagg Group in Dallas but I have had a couple bucks shoulder mounted there and they do a nice job. Looks like they charge $3,100.00 on their website for a full sized lion, which is expensive but I believe I would find a way to make it happen. Congrats on taking advantage of a defining moment! Its something you'll remember the rest of your life. http://www.theflagggroupinc.com/pricingamerican.html
