Congratulations. That will be a good looking mount. I've only ever seen 1 in my life and it was in Kemp, Tx about 7 yrs ago. Never got a shot at it though. Sure wish I could have. Again, congratulations, that's a beauty.

Congrats. I have seen two but never got off a shot, they do not stand around long.

Refreshing to see a picture of a REAL mountain lion. I hope I'm that lucky someday!

I bet that was an adrenaline rush even to see one like that.

Nice. Good story too. Funny thing is, you're going to varmint hunt for years on end trying to duplicate it and may never see another one. Thanks for posting and congrats.

Once in a lifetime opportunity right there. That's awesome Amen. That isn't your everyday kitty.

Wow! That's my ultimate goal - to call in a lion in the daytime. Well done, sir. .

Four years ago I was also mule deer hunting in Dryden and at night would predator call (unbelievable amount of grey fox in that country) and one evening called in a lion with jack rabbit distress sounds to about 75 yards, didn't want to shoot it, but a very neat encounter indeed.
