Got ya beat
If you ever hunted in Southern Utah, you would understand the true meaning of "tough huntin". Those lions will take you in the roughest & steepest terrain you've ever encountered. But truely the toughest hunts I have been on is hikin after dogs who have entered no mans land where there are no roads within miles and miles and the dogs seem to be moving further and further away, but mind you this is in snow that is waist deep heading straight up mountains of sheer cliffs most the time falling through the snow from holes between rocks or falling through the snow and getting caught in oak brush underneath you. Pushin hard to keep up with the dogs because you've made that quiet promise to them that if they did their part and worked the track then no matter what you would get to them and do your part. Climbing up rock faces holding on by your fingertips and cursing outloud that your done with lion huntin for good this time! But when your standing underneath the tree or looking off onto the ledge where your dogs are baying up a lion, that is when you suck it all up take a sense of pride of what fine hounds you own, appreciate the chance to have stared into the eyes of this allusive animal, and then "happily" walk away (draggin dogs)as you face the task of headin back to the truck.... Here are pictures
