So, I booked a trip to Collbran, CO last year with my wife. We hunted 5 days, had the time of our life but came up empty handed. Well last week my buddy called me and said conditions were perfect and if I could get up there by Thursday I would have myself a lion! Somehow I found a way to Grand Junction and got the time off work. After 10 hours of cuting tracks, tracking, and chasing we got the lion treed and shot!! Lots of hard work and time went into this animal. Some of y'all know I have killed a few big deer, a trophy antelope, and taken multiple plains game animals in Africa. This cat is the greatest trophy of my hunting career due to the fact of the hard work that went into it. So proud of it, so I wanted to share a few pictures

That's awesome. My brother-in-law is going after a mountain lion in January. I hope he gets one as big as yours.
If you keep your hair short and your mouth shut, things tend to run a lot smoother.
