Looks like quite the good winter to me! Where were the hunts?

Great looking fun! Congrats on a great cat, buck, and coyote! Westerners don't need to wonder why us Easterners are jealous!

All critters taken on the same trip. I did not kill the lion. My rancher/host friend did. Hunt was in Idaho. What a time, and what a place.

Thanks for the comments.

Where in Idaho were you? Looks like a great trip!

Really great pictures.

This is a really neat way of giving a hunt report! You're a very talented photographer, well done!

Great area. Looks like craig mountain/winchester. Not far from the lewiston airport. Looks like you hunted more days than I did and I live there. Lucky Dog! Couple of good looking Wolf Skinners with the dead lion.

Sweet, thanks for sharing!

You're within about 50 miles. It was a 5 day hunt. We were busy, as you can see. Great area, great friends and great hunt. Can't ask for anything more than that.

I hunted black bear around Elk City Idaho in 2010, beautiful country.

That makes me homesick for my native Rocky Mountains. Other than for a couple of funerals, I haven't been back that way for about 4 years. I need to get back and chase elk and pronghorns soon!!!

Awesome. Wanna introduce me to the chicks with the mountain lion?

Whoa, easy, boy, easy!

They're very attractive and lovely young ladies, that's obvious. But too young for you--or anyone for that matter--to think about, lad. One of them's my host's daughter. Very protective, as he should be. Oh, and a really, really good shot. Just sayin'.

I've been a big fan of your shared hunts and pics for a long time. Glad I can offer a little back to folks. Thank you, and all the others who've commented.

BTW, that was my first ever buck, finally accomplishing what I'd failed to do, despite trying in earnest for the previous 13 *years*.

That was the first coyote I've ever killed, and first wild lion I've ever seen in person as well. Saw my first wild bull elk too. He ran by me at around 70 yards. A wondrous and magical time it was, truly. Those weren't my first ducks, though.

The boys who made it happen for me know how much it meant to me then, what it means to me now, and what it will always mean to me. You never forget your first, man.
