[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 1639199, member: 33751"] Yes I agree. We live in Grizzly, wolf, wolverine, Lion, country. I know guys who pack just a pistol or bow for lions. I feel under armed with just a 30-30. Considering all the other predators we might run into while pursuing the lion. But it was the first centerfire rifle I ever fired, and was passed to me when my dad died. It held immense sentimental value to me to take my lion with that old Marlin. The same marlin that shot a coke can with all those years ago. Strange how the older we get the more small little things mean so much. I don't understand the "gross factor" on lion meat at all. Ever seen a dirty cat? Even a house cat will sit around cleaning itself all day. Yet cows and pigs are filthy at both ends and covered in fly's in the middle. Nobody hesitates to eat beef or pork. It's nuts. Just cook it to 160 degrees same as chicken or pork and it's fine. Lion hunting is not like any other game animal in my opinion. Dogs howling, lions running and climbing trees, running up cliffs that I wouldn't run up if you told me there was money in a briefcase up there. My wife asked me "What was it like?" I replied, "Like getting chased by a pack of grizzly bears!"...….. We actually treed this guy twice. The first time he jumped out of the tree while my buddy was rounding up the hounds. Lion landed rite next to me. I mean RITE next to me, and took off. I think I peed a little, and the chase was back on. Miles later we got him treed again and I took the shot. It was insane. I still look at the GPS track of the hunt and shake my head. That's living rite there. [/QUOTE]
