Danny B,
Many thanks for your input. I will get a small digital scale to add to my bag of stuff, that way, if I "take" the mountain lion, I can report his weight. (I need a small scale anyway for coyotes and bobcats.) I have not yet taken a lion but have had them walking in my foot prints, seen as I backtracked back to the hunting vehicle.
Silverfox,
Thank you for your input. I will get a small measuring tape and put it in my bag of stuff. I guess the tape measure will come in handy when I bag that mountain lion, so I can report its overall length.
I think it is kinda cool to be sneaking around in lion country, hunting predators where I may be hunted, too. It appeals to my philosophy of "fair chase". However, my hair does stand up when I see those big cat footprints overlapping my own (and traveling in the same direction).
Cheers,
