[QUOTE="grit, post: 252215, member: 4112"] Bummer. On an archery hunt several years ago a pack of dogs came through hot on a big lion. The lion jumped a herd of elk. The dogs, hot on the lion, chased everything but the cat in the confusion. Shortly they brought a big bull to bay on a rocky outcropping. The bull ran out on this rocky point with a cliff behind him. Then, turned to fight. It was pretty neat to watch that bull hold off those dogs. Once he tossed one fifteen feet high. After an hour or so the houndsman came along. He had a hell of a time getting his dogs off the bull. Must've been a dozen dogs. He told me he'd been hired by a ranch just below us to get the cat. Said it was killing stock. I don't know if he was supposed to be there in September or not. It took two days for the elk to move back in and start bugling again. A week later we killed a nice bull not a quarter mile from where we'd watched the other turn to fight. I've been on a cat hunt behind the dogs. Lot of fun. Still, they can sure empty an area in a hurry. I'll come wade in the snow. It's sure been piling up! If it's feasable I'll bring the horses to get the cow. [/QUOTE]
