Thanks! It felt like we were constantly racing the clock. The longer it took to get to the tree the more likely the cat was to jump and run another mile in the snow.
That's intellect decision to make as hunter , pass up a female that the dogs treed. And is great training session for the dogs every time to better their trailing and treeing abilities. For the next cat to catch a big male cougar , on the next hunt.
Great question. These are fair chase, limited entry hunts, meaning you apply into a lottery/draw system and hope to be selected. They only issue a few tags in each region. It took me nine years to draw the tag. Utah does a great job at managing wildlife with harvest objectives for each species such as deer, elk, lion, bear, etc. This prevents nuisance lions/bears that get pushed out of their natural habitat by other more dominant lions/bears and into neighborhoods to feed on people’s pets, get hit by cars, or even starve to death. Wildlife management ensures their survival and maintains a healthy ecosystem.
I don't understand how this either rewarding or noble. You're using gasoline powered vehicles. Where's the sport? Additionally, you don't even eat these animals. What's the point? Beautiful creature unnecessarily taken. I only bow hunt for meat. This just doesn't make sense to me. Thank you for sharing but I don't get it.
I don't get it either. The only thing I can surmise is macho machismo narcissism. I hate these kind of hunters. I root for the mountain lions. Wish a big mountain lion would get a kill on these idiots.
It sounds like there are a lot of things you don't understand. For starters, controlling predator populations is key to the sucess of many wildlife species, livestock, and even pets (CA has a ton of lion attacks because the predators have not been taught respect for humans)
@@marlind.odermatt8108are you joking? Not been taught to respect humans? You’re an idiot. Go to Africa and teach a hippo to respect humans tell us how that turns out.
There was no "her" involved in this video. The lion harvested was an adult Tom which is a male lion. Secondly, tagging a lion in Utah involves meeting with a DWR official or conservation officer within 48 hours of harvest so it can be checked, verified, have a permanent tag affixed to the carcass, and have both tissue sampling and a tooth collected for research and to improve management strategies.
I’ve heard this so many times you have obviously never hunted with dogs they make it look easy what you don’t see is the hundreds of hours spent training walking into a section that might be 10-20 miles between roads easy I think not.
Sorry,but killing a animal that your not going to eat is not this big great or amazing thing.I respect hunting and hunters,but killing for a thrill just doesnt impress me in the least.
I take it this was for the purpose of population control, not just for fun right? I once saw this hunting video of these guys shooting crossbows at a cougar and it suffered such a great deal.

nice job
Nice cat. The most physically demanding hunt I ever participated in. Congratulations!

You did good.
Awesome

Are these 'problem' lions that you are killing? Ones that have been straying into human habitat and attacking people?

@@marlind.odermatt8108 "because the predators have not been taught respect" 😂you have a lot to learn, kid.
What an ignorant comment.

I keep a very well behaved pit bull but i am sure if she saw a cat that big it would be a fight to the death.
I wanted to see her bagged disappointed he didnt tag her

Without GPS, dogs and vehicles would you still be hunters? It's to easy.... fishing is more of a challenge in my book. I don't get it?
too* easy

I agree 100% Mountain lion is delicious and I’m glad not many people are aware of it or there might be fewer. Thanks for the comment.
@@BigHunterification lmao
an* animal
you're* not
Where in the video did it say he wasn’t eating it and just killing for a thrill? Great job being an idiot
