Ok, let's get this straight. First off, the coyote hunting in Nevada sux!! Second, it's a friggin lousy place to retire!!
Now back to the lion pics, very cool Onery!! I've lived in Nevada for 35 years and have only seen two lions. One while deer hunting and the other other was caught in a trap on a ranch I worked on. Both encounters gave me a serious case of the willy's!! There's just something about seeing one up close and knowing that there are no fences between it and you.
Nevada has lots of lions. Almost every Mtn range in the state has a population. Tags are easy to get and the season is pretty long.
Congrats Onery, not many people actually get pics of the lions they see. And considering the circumstances, your pics are quite good!!
Thanks for sharing!!
