A confirmed HUGE LION .....

Have a buddy by the name of Jason Reinhart who is a houndsman of some repute up in the Mt. States . Anyway, got an e-mail from him today bragging about his latest BIG hit . And it is a hit, alright... 200 lbs.. He was guiding for an outfit called Bear Basin, the lucky hunter was Brian Terry. Incredible animal. Estimated to be 12 years old and over 8' from tail to nose.

Re: A confirmed HUGE LION .....

Incicentally, know what Jason's favorite lion gun is ?







A .22 magnum revolver . Reason being that if the dogs corner the cat in a cave or draw, it can be shot without worrying about it( the bullet) passing thru and hitting a dog. I doubt it was used on this big fella.

.22 Magnum is a sweetheart of a round, especially in a rifle.
