A First For Lucas!!

Last night right before dark Lucas shot his very first mountain lion! It's pretty amazing! I'm so proud of Him. It's really hard to get a lion without hound dogs, but he watched for it over a dead elk kill. It was a 110 lb female! From the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail she was at lease 7 foot.
Sorry, the pictures are a bit dark and bloody. It's hard to cover the blood on white snow!

Oh my! I am so impressed! What a neat catch. Are they as dangerous up there as they are down here?
I'm going to sound so illiterate here in asking this, but, do you eat their meat or just use the fur or what?
I need to learn so much more about hunting wild animals :)

Stef, we've had a lot of people tell us that lion backstrap is better then a pork tenderloin.
But we didn't save any of the meat because it was feeding on a elk carcass and smelled really bad. So we're just going to keep the pelt.
