Jason Sherwood / Lion


I shot this lion on a ranch we lease in Mexico. I had been watching the buck in the pictures for a couple of days. On the 3rd day he went missing. I noticed a doe acting really strange in the same area the buck had been. I had a hunch that maybe a lion had got him. We continued to glassed for a few more hours when I found four lions coming through a saddle. they made their way down to where the doe was acting strange. Went I set my spotting scope up yo could see the lions eating on the buck. As soon as the first lion gave a clear shot I took it. It ended up being a 457yd shot. We packed the lion out whole and gave it to the rancher.

Mike Hancock's Lion


My good friend Mike Hancock called  me and asked if I would go scouting for a up coming deer hunt that his two boys had. We had gone to one area to scout in the morning and were on our way to another. We were driving on an old dirt road and you could see some drag marks in the road, like somebody or something had drug a animal across it. We decide to get out and follow it. We had gone a couple of hunded yds when we found a dead doe that the lion had killed. We set up on this kill for two days and finally glassed this lion up. Mike shot this lion at 300 yds with a 300RUM.
