    Ep. 59 Mountain Lion Hunting with Ross Adney

    Ep. 59 Mountain Lion Hunting with Ross Adney

    In Episode 59 we are joined by Ross Adney. Ross is an outfitter and owner of Beaver Trap Outfitters and guides most all Western big game. I spent the week chasing mountain lions through the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming with Ross and his hounds. Hunting lions has been a bucket list hunt for me as long as I can remember and on day three of the hunt my dream became a reality. I have always enjoyed hunting with dogs and working with them to achieve a hunting goal. Watching them run the track and tree the Tom was a significant part of the experience.
