[QUOTE="dstark, post: 1052741, member: 48159"] I got one In fall of 2012, I was supposed to go along on an elk hunt with my buddy, I got held up and had to meet him up there later in the morning. He shot a cow at first light, a solid hit but she still was able to go about 1/4 mile before she dropped. It was on a steep ridge in thick pine, my friend was following a great blood trail when a lion came running up on him hissing and snarling. He shot the ground in front of it when it got to 10 yards and he says it jumped about 15' into the air and bolted off into the brush. He found the cow down about 100 yards further. I arrived at his location about 30 min later. This was in the upper snake region of South East Idaho in early November. He thought he may have hit the cat with his shot, and there was about 4" of fresh snow so it was easy to pick up the tracks. We went looking for it but after getting into the thicker brush, the tracks circled and paced all over and we couldn't make sense of where he headed. We found no blood or hair and concluded that he had indeed only shot the ground. Since he had an elk on the ground, we had to get to work and didn't spend as much time looking for the cat as we would have liked. That's as near a lion attack as I'm aware of. [/QUOTE]
