Where was that big guy taken? He probably kills and eats grizzly bears. Lochi's signature used to say"South African house cats are bigger than American lions". Lochi, how do those words taste?LOL. Bon Appetite.

From what I have heard, the guys name in the pic is Jim Hackiewicz. He was guiding another hunter in Washington state and they tracked and ended up calling the big cat in and the hunter shot it. I have heard rumors that the lion might be a new state record. J. Hack knows his stuff about bears and lions from what I have seen. He operates a skull cleaning business called Custom Osteo and also does some guiding.

Yeah, that's pretty much the story. Except I remember his screen name from the Coffee shp as JJ Hack. He seems to think it may go about #6 Boone and Crocket?
I remember seeing a mount in Kingman, AZ a long time ago of a lion, in a Sporting Goods Store. This one looks bigger. I also saw a lion at a desert zoo in southeastern Arizona many years ago, and he was real big. This one looks bigger.
Pic e-mailed to me by Pete in Idaho. Thanks Pete!
Good hunting. LB

Word is he's the second biggest lion ever shot in our state...
Now that I've seen him I can't sit on a stand and squeel without being very scared... his brother is out here somewhere??? ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) And Red is lookin' for him!
The whole story of the hunt was once posted on PM.

The cat was taken within 6 miles of Bellevue WA.
Unofficial score is 15-12/16 which would be in a 6-way tie for #7 all-time. Included in this list is Teddy Roosevelt's cat taken in Meeker Co in 1901.

Beautiful cat!!!
Pup and I were on a hunt in Az where if we had bought our tags we would have had an oppotunity at our pick of 3.
But you know what they say about hind sight being 20/20.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda.
But we did get a few good pics. Still a trophy for a coupla okies.

Wow that's extra scary...
For those of you wondering Bellevue, Wa is one mile from Seattle across the lake... that would put that cat within ten miles of my house.
I told Red we should go to Tiger Mountain...

Az has a nifty loophole law:), one must report the taking of a lion within 10 days of killing it........thus allowing you plenty of time to get to wallmart and buy tag. I know, now I can be vilified like Leonard over his trap theft, for suggesting not having a tag in posession. I didn't say that was my method now, I always buy tag first of year just in case, but I am aware many a lion is tucked in the brush, and a speed run to wally world is in order. About the pic of that big cat; ole Jims a hell of a guy, used to wrestle in HS in the 90# weight class, he stands 4'3", but not classified as midget:)..all kidding aside, wow! thats a monster ain't it?

It's hard being an out-of-stater, but I know a number of California hunters that have been advised by Game and Fish personel (and they might deny it) quite seriously, that if they have the chance, shoot that lion, and then make it legal, if they have to. They don't want them lions to get out of hand as in CA, OR and WA. Basically, I wouldn't trust them, nor take the chance, but as the gentleman said, it is not exactly unheard of. A local is in a much more secure position.
Here in CA, we have the largest population in the whole country, and can't hunt them, yet between 200 and 300 are taken anually under depredation permit, which is almost twice the number taken by sport hunters, the last year it was legal to do so.
Crazy. Guess they haven't eaten enough people yet; and nobody cares?
Good hunting. LB

We have a choice of hunting coyotes/bobcats as part of our small game license or as part of our bear/cougar tag... the bear/cougar tag is cheaper.
But, we too have the "please shoot it, and go get your tag" sometimes enforced policy, and I'm with Leonard on that one, the risk and guilt is too much for me to bear...

Leonard, how true. I have been told that numerous times by dfg persons.The ones that arent tree huggers that is.One of the times was at a sportsmans show in Fresno, the officer had to wait for the other(very young)officers to walk away on a break and he told me his feelings on the whole thing.Basicly, the ol' shoot shovel and shutup routine.
There are some good people in the DFG, and the good ones also hunt and fish and are dedicated to thier jobs.Thats good.Were losing them to retirement though.Seems the younger guys(and gals) coming into the game are doing it to "rescue" animals from the likes of hunters and all other wrongdoers.
This trend has inspired a friend of mine to start college and hopefully continue on to be a warden.
