Finally got some snow, around 5" of powder. Hunted the following day hoping to cut a track to no avail. The following 2 days NorWester winds kicked in. I'll be back on the hunt again when things settle down.
Below is where I seen my 1st lion 8yrs ago late one day. Seen it sitting on the far ridgeline/(triangle strip of picked corn field). As it was over looking a timbered creek valley to it's North. I had permission on the land it was on. But it was already getting dark. So I passed on it. I regret that to no end.

The other day as I was scanning along the river corridor. I met a nearby farmer doing chores. We visited a bit & he told me 2yrs ago. Early on he lost 2 new born calves. A while later, he lost 2 more calves. They weighed in the 80-90 lb range. Not a trace found on any of them. They were all in a fenced pasture. I told him a good bet a lion got them. Just so happened this yr around 4 months ago. A lion was seen crossing a highway 1/2 mile East of his farm.
What were you waiting for? Or did you only have the camera with you? Sheeeeeeesh! I dont think I'd wanna be that close to one.

Jim, there was around 10" of new snow on the ground. That corn field hadn't been picked yet when the snow hit. I had maybe 45? minutes of daylight left. I didn't want to get out there when darkness hit & no flash light. But looking back I should've went for it. I had one hand call in my truck at the time.
Jim, that's (almost) mean! :alscalls:
Keep after them, Snafu.
