I talked with a good buddy that lives in Montana the last few days and he talked me into putting in to hunt Lions this year so I did and I am so excited, he has his own hounds and the last 7 years or so has been 100% success for he and his son and anyone that hunted with him.... I am gonna use my Smith and Wesson 460 Mag which he says may be a little much lol lol but it's what I got other than my .357 Mag.... I can always shoot 45 long colt or 454 casull in the 460 if I have to.... did I say I can't wait....
