First Lion Encounter

[Arrowflinger84]

never saw one but heard one several time in Colorado hunting. I backed next to a tree and pointed my gun in that direction. That is one of the only times hunting where I was on the verge of going #1 and #2 in my pants in a matter of seconds.

What are the chances of being attacked? Gives me the willys. Since I’m 100 % bow and always solo !

For sure, but it's basically like winning the lottery you never wanted.

Thx Clay !

That’s awesome you seen one. Similar experience happened to a buddy of mine. He knew one was in the area, he stared off with typical sets of prey distress and the lion came in. Much like yours it bolted off, so he switched it up to female lion in heat and it ended up coming back like a rocket.

It’s already happened to me so the chances of getting attacked again are slim enough not to have to worry.

When I lived in Rapid City SD, lions were everywhere. If you lived in the foothills of the Black Hills, and you took your little accessory dog for a walk in the evening, chances were that little foo foo dogs was supper. It got so ridiculous that the Game and Fish dept finally opened a season. Its a hair raising experience when your hunting something alone that can kill you in a second. I followed some pretty big cat tracks in snow through some really thick woods that scared the hell out of me, if it decided it was hungry, I would have been a goner for sure. Another time my buddy and I found a fresh cat kill half buried in the snow 50 yds from where we were camping. In a canvas wall tent non the less, easy access for a hungry lion. Another time during turkey season we had a cat jump out of a tree right next to camp, scared the mud out of us. Cats are no joke brothers. OP, I sure hope you get him!! Plus I've heard they make mighty fine table fare, tastes kinda like pork I hear.

I remember you telling that story or re-posting it not too long ago. Incredible and terrifying.

I was kinda like a car wreck. Happened so fast, it was over before you knew what was happening.

Awesome!
