That would be too close to 3 grown cats for my liking. Doesn't even sound like they were that scared of you, I think that is what would make me the most nervous.
Well this was my first Tejon Pig-o-Rama, and I was on the NorthSide. It was a great hunt and definitely a learning experience. There were some beautiful hogs brought in, unfortunately non of them were mine.
I saw Elk in good numbers (2 Bulls and many Cows), Mulies (2 Bucks, several doe), and 8 to 10 pigs.
I never had a great shot under 400 yards unless I wanted to carry the pig out of a canyon bottom with out the aid of enough rope (lesson 1, bring lots of rope), and a winch would be handy as well. Particularly if you are hunting alone.
Several parties scored early, they seemed to be veterans of the Northside. All in all a great time, sure wish I knew then what I know now. Would probably have some fresh pork at the locker.
Tejon is a great hunt. Even if you don't connect on a Hog. We did bump into a few hunters while in the field but everyone spreads out pretty quickly, in the morning.
My 'in your face' Mountain Lion experience was a good one. I'll remember that one. I.m sure the story will be repeated several times this fall around hunting camp.
I would have liked to hike a little more but the heat was just getting to me.
Great hunt and time with my Son and his family is always a plus
Just wish you could hunt a little longer. It goes by way to quick.
Maybe an Upland or Explorer package is worth looking at.
I just spoke with my two buddies that were hunting the north. They each got a pig. They said that they ran into a guy Friday night that had just seen a lion. I said, I think I know who that is. Good 'ole Muskeg. That must have been you!
Three cats! Even with a gun, you wouldn't stand a chance if they were hungry.
Congratualtions and good job to your buddies. A few Hogs were taken. Like I was saying I wanted to hike around some more but hot dry air was being heavy handed on me.
The places we set up to take stands for the last 2 hours of light just didn't show any hogs. We didn't hunt Sunday evening though.
I just got the new pricelist from Tejon and i don't see any June POR scheduled. Maybe a conflict or the bad success rates of the June hunt, I would guess.
If I don't draw Arizona Elk or Whitetail I'll probably get in on the Dec POR.
I have pictured that Mt Lion scene many times in my head.
I wondered if they (lions) would attack in groups like Wolf. Most Bear attacks are from a single animal. Sometimes big siblings will get involved if there mother is attacking or hurt. Wolf usually pair or multiple up for the kill but sometimes do it alone.
My buddies said that it was pretty brutal. The only time that they saw hogs was before the sun was all the way up. Both of their pigs were small.
I think a mother lion might be accompanied by juvenil lions on a hunt. I can't imagine more than one adult lion hunting together. I don't know. JJ Hack would know.
Great memory for you though. I always see lion tracks where I bow hunt. I have yet to see a lion in the flesh. I would welcome a sighting.
