LAST EDITED ON Oct-24-09 AT 01:47PM (MST)[p]Hey guys, I had planed on just putting this up on my own but saw this post and thought it suited it.
Was out hunting with the family opening weekend and because we could'nt hunt in are normal area due to the 5 day season we were out looking for some new spots.
I had a archery tag so I was just along for the ride, anyways we went up white rocks canyon in the NE area, and my dad sister and brother decided to cross the bridge and hunt up the other side of the river.
I had stayed out late the night before so I decided it would be a good time to catch up on some sleep.
Well sleep wasnt comeing so I started playing a game on my cell phone while listening to the radio in the truck.
Then something caught my eye over by the bridge about 10 yards away.
I looked up and saw this, so I grabed my camera and started snaping photos, the first couple photos are not to good cause I was looking through the window.
It stood there for about 10 to 20 seconds and then turned and walked down the bridge.
I then jumped out and thought it was going to hear the beeping of the open door on the truck but he kept going, I dont think he could hear it over the sound of the river.
I made a nose with my mouth to try and get it to look at me but when it did it was out of there so fast I couldnt get a pic of it looking at me.
Here is a pic from the bridge looking at the truck, he was only about 10-12 yards away and couldnt hear the radio going and never looked at the truck the whole time I could see him.
This is only the 5th lion I have ever seen one was while hunting with some guys who had dogs the rest were all just being in the right place at the right time.
How big do some of you experts think it is, it looked pretty big to me and I figured it was a Tom but dont know for sure.
