    Congrats Dirk! 160 lbs is a stud of a lion! I love listening to an epert lion hunter like Bradley talk about the habits of these big cats. Such a secretive critter that makes a living killing on its own. Great video!

    Congratulations on your big tom. I also have had that great experience of catching up with a big lion after days of tracking like that. The best part of it was with my daughter. You see, she is also a houndsman ( women ) as she calls it. She raises and hunts her own breed. Amazing dogs for sure. Pet can pick up a three day old track in the snow and have him treed before noon. Good job Dirk.

    Wow, that is an apex predator no doubt. Those things are so intimidating. The one encounter I have had with lions was riding a dirt bike, I came around a corner and a female and two year and a half old young with her, they stooped down in the middle of the trail at 10 yards and sat there staring me down. I revved the bike up at them, they didn't flinch, just looked me over and walked away real slow.....They had an eerie, hair raising confidence about them.

    CASE IN POINT WAS ~
    Seeing a 3 legged Heeler take down a 2,000 renegade bull that was endangering local peopled was eye opening;
    in seeing him herd that bull nto his stall & trembling = as that dog sat 4ft away watching as the 5 armed farmers(shotguns+rifles) made it back to the barn who were ready to shoot that bull a 1/4 mile out in a neighboring pasture...!

Ppl who say it's unfair an inhumane to hunt cougars w/ dog's needs to hear this man talk about his pack. If that's inhumane, then I guess I don't understand the meaning of the word. Well done doc.

      Actually, the arrow was so quiet, swift and sharp, the cat didn't really know what happened. He felt a bite and knew something wasn't quite right, and expired within seconds of the second shot.
