Lion Hunt

While Texas was in a deep freeze I was in Idaho along the Salmon river as it winds through the Payette National Forest on a mountain lion hunt. In an unbelievable stroke of luck I was in camp with a photographer named Sam Averett who took some amazing photos for the outfitter. Sam was gracious enough to share his photos with me. He also created this video for Wilderness Mule Outfitting, the outfitter I used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYc68vNjc-k
This video was put together from my hunt, like Ol' Waylon said "they keep showing my hands but not my face on TV" because they didn't want to ruin the fantastic scenery! It took over two hours on snowmobile to get to camp and about 20 minutes to fly out. Got the lion on day 3.

Congrats, good looking cat

That's awesome and what a great cat! I'm working on getting some details lined up for a Mt. Lion hunt this year.

Very nice! Congrats! I want one.

X2...congratulations.

Awesome! But am I the only one who thinks that it looks like that cat is still alive on that dude's shoulders?

pretty cool

Bucket list hunt for me. Awesome cat.

Beautiful

Looks like an awesome hunt in some great looking country.

I shot the lion with a Rugers Super Blackhawk 44 magnum. 20 yards up in the tree. A shot that was exactly where I wanted it and it still hit the ground running for about 150 yards.

Congratulations! Greatest hunt in North America.
Adios,
gary

Way to go!

RMP I know that exact look on your face. Greatest feeling getting you cat but pretty damn exhausted getting there lol. I am a pretty big guy and I can tell you I was worn out. Excitement, exhaustion and thirsty as hell! Walking in that snow gets rough but congrats on getting the job done! A dream hunt for a lot of guys here.

Congrats! What a fantastic animal!
