Hunting & Fishing Archery Arizona Lion

[Keith Johns]

I got my first Archery Lion without using dogs. I glassed up two Lions at about 250 yards. They were stalking a couple doe and when they blew their stalk, I started calling. I had already gotten set up to call and ranged a bottle neck in the brush I figured it would come through(31 yards).
It came in right through the spot I thought it would, stopped when I drew, and I got her.

Used a 125gr Swhacker which performed great. It was fully open within a fingers depth and the cut is massive. Definitely my favorite mechanical broadhead. I have some of the new 150grainers on the way. 3" wide cut with the design of the Swhacker.... damn.


Thanks!

Excellent job. I got to watch a mature tom for about 15 minutes last week while glassing for bull elk. Beautiful animals.

Thanks very much.

Ya they are the most beautiful animals I've ever seen in the wild. I wish I had more time to watch them before it was all going 100mph.
The next lion(s) I see I'm not going to pursue... though it's likely I'll be with someone who will. But I myself have no current interest in killing another one.

Unit 22. Not too far south of mazatal peak area.

The call, which I forgot and lost there, was a little green call called the "crit'r call"
Had it for years and loved it.
