I don't know how old, but a great cat never the less. I know some people who would be jealous. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

I'd say about my age No more females, just some zebra here and there " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.

Mitch, If someone with your experience and knowledge of lions cannot age a lion, what chance has a PH in the field? A few days ago we watched two lions two males in Tanzania. I was with Roy and Alan Vincent. The lions were from 100-200 yards assay from us. And we looked at them, on several days, from every conceivable angle one can get at that distance. We could not agree on the age of these two, except that they were both below 6 years old. How certain can one judge a lion's age in the field? How certain can one judge a lion's age after examining its teeth? | |||

Toughest age to judge is the 5 to 6 years of age group, I have not seen a Tanzania Lion over 6 years of age except for Lions in the National Parks. As for this Monster, its impossible to judge his age from this photo, but with this amount of Hair he is a super beast what ever his age is, Was this the Male hunted by Paul Stones and his client? PS Saeed loved your Tanzania Hunting report, | |||

The current trend is the great reluctance by a number of PHs (experienced ones) to reject almost every lion unless its got a patch over one eye and hobbling about on crutches ..... and if its in the company of a pride, don't even think about it. "How certain can one judge a lion's age in the field?" "How certain can one judge a lion's age after examining its teeth?" NONE whatsoever on both questions unless its one of those hand-reared, ball-stroked and blow-dried jobs that one will find south of the TZ borders. To the best of my knowledge, NO-ONE in TZ has to date been told if their lion qualified or not - let's not even talk about putting an age against the animal! I have not heard of any outfitter losing quota or a PH being reprimanded or fined for having taken an underage lion nor of a lion trophy not being exported. This leads us all to believe therefore that however many/few that have so far been taken have all met with the requirements  What a bloody farce! | |||

Saeed, Respectfully, I would interject and say that he did all that was needed and put him into the >6 category. That is all one is asked to do in the field. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.
