I took this tom yesterday with a good old boy from Texas. A great tom, in less then great conditions.

Great cat!! Congrats

Awesome doug! Well done, especially in what i assume were less than ideal snow conditons! Great cat, congrats!

You do produce some of the best mountain lions I have seen. Good work.

Very nice Tom!

Nice trophy - what caliber do you recommend for this hunt, out of interest?

How long did the dogs trail it for?

This tom was taken with a 222rem federal 55gr soft point. Anything 222 and bigger does the job just fine. The hounds trailed this one for about 3 miles before a ground fight broke out and the cat treed shortly after.

What would you say your success rate is?

I took 6 hunters this year and and one went home empty, although we treed a tom the first day and a female on the third day. this fellow is an AR and had a great time taking home a big tom lynx. He was looking for a jumbo tom and the first tom was just average for up here. Anywhere else it would have been hitting the ground.My success rate over the last 5 years is over 90%.

great results. High success rate and excellent trophies. Congratulations

... oh ....my god. This is a hunting trip that I definitely want to do it
Congratulations for this beautiful animal...

Great cat, what is the best time of year ? please send me info.
