Heres a video of a lion hunt I did a few years ago in Alberta.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

That looked like a wonderful time. Congratulations on a big Tom. Nobody got their rides stuck?
My number one hunt I want to do. I don’t want to use a bow, though.

I traded a couple of real nice wolf hides to a taxidermist and had him do a full body mount.

That looked like a fun time, nice cat! I have always wanted to do a lion hunt with dogs. One of these days I will make it happen.

That looked really fun (except the guy that was working the throttle on the snowmachine like a 4 year old). Ive never seen one in the wild, love to see the mount !!

That's awesome, looks like fun. I bet those cats could drag you through some pretty nasty going before they decide to try. You'd want to pack a lunch!

Did Tim mount that?

Your opinion of him would change if you ever met him. I've met a lot of guys in my years guiding and he is hands down one of the nicest most generous guys you will ever know. As an example when I did that hunt, I had just met him that fall. I had guided him on a moose hunt. He invited me down to hunt cats and wouldn't let me pay for anything.....hotels, hunt cost, food, even the tips to the houndsmen and guide....he paid for everything. I've hunted with him many times since and he is a first class guy. One of the best archery shooters Ive ever seen too.

Yes may be a great guy guess should have said didn't like listening to him talk about cats and cat hunting, seen a few videos he has made on it. just my opinion , I have followed them around for years so may have a different view on it.
