I hunted Mountain Lion in 2008 in NW Nevada with Mosuito Valley Outfitters. We found the tracks of a large Tom and worked for the next 6 hours getting into position for a shot as the Lion led us through waist deep snow and up and down numerous mountans. In the end the Tom was a mere 1 1/2 feet from my barrel when the Traditional Hawken sent lead his way. The Lion make the Boone & Crockett awards book and is #16 in the Longhunter Record Book.
