Great Picture!
It is my fear every AM when I head out to do chores, I have come upon a lion twice out there in the dark. its always a loud walk to the barn with my heeler next to me and of course my 45 strapped on!
So far no snakes which surprises me, but I Am always ready for them! The Coyotes have been pretty quite as well this summer, maybe fall will bring them singing, but its running into the lion that most makes my hair stand on end!
Looks like a great cat, thanks for sharing!!!!!

I like the Jeep!

[Dusty Texian]

Glad Y'all like the pic. Plowboy45 that old Jeep has been called Ole Rojo since I can remember. My old Daddy branded it that,and it stuck. Big Sky56 those are some very nice pic's Sure wouldnt want to crawl up in that tinhorn with that Cat. And Ms Boots I know that same feeling ,get it when I go get coffee water in those cold mornings . Somtime's things are just to quiet and I get the feeling a cats around making it that way.,,,,DT

Superchicken this place is in Brewster Co. Tx. /South of Marathon and on the /East side of the Tinaja Mountains, just North of the Rio Grande, Some maps show it as Hells Half Acre,,,,DT

[superchicken]

Know the area pretty well, but it's been a couple of years since I've been down there. I'm up in the Panhandle, and there are kitty cats up here too. Most folks don't realize that they are out on the Plains, but they live anywhere there's enough to eat.

Great pic. Nice old CJ. I take it you still have it?

I had a 59 just like it, even the top. I removed the top as it was kind of top heavy.
Mine was called Festus.

Hello Old Win. That old Jeep is part of the family. The top does make it a bit top-heavy,dont think this one has ever been off. Its a 225 V6 model with the 60/40 seat and 52,000 original mi. Love the pop open windshield ,,,DT

That is a good picture. I bet that the cat would make a fine rug if you want to turn it into one. I have never actually seen one in the wild, but that simply may have been due to the fact that they are great at hiding when they don't want to be seen.

[OldWin]

So glad to hear you still have it! That is really neat. We don't see many with the 60/40 seats up here but the old Dauntless V6 was pretty common, and as I recall, worked pretty good in the woods. Mine had the old Hurricane 4 banger, and even 30 years ago up here made you a traffic hazard.

The trails are VERY tight up here and the flatties and early CJ-5's were great in the woods. I think of them every time I have to turn my TJ Rubicon around in an alder run.

I will see if I can scare up a picture of old Festus.


Almost forgot, that is a beautiful lion. Did you do anything with it? Hide or mount?

Sure would like to see a pic of that old Festus. That cat hide is still rolled-up in the freezer .,,,DT

congrats on a great hunt

Thank you !!!

[Old Ironsights]

Great cat. I wish I had one as a pet. (Actually, a Cheetah (100% domesticatable) or Bobcat (80% domesticatable) would be fine.)

[OldWin]

Dusty,
This is the one I was looking for yesterday. Good ole Festus.

[Dusty Texian]

That old Festus has Style!!!!!

[OldWin]

Haha, thanks Dusty. Yeah it had lots of character. We put that that thing in some awful places.
