Had 1 run right across the road in front of us off Hiway 9 just north of Tallahassee road couple weeks ago coming back from bowfishing 11-Miles (as my Filipina wife likes to call it). Only 1 i've ever seen in CO in 30 years here. There are some outfitting services though. I'm not sure if the populations high enough just to go ouit and try to call one in, though i know it can be done. We get a bobcat or two every couple years calling coyotes. Got 1 this past season in fact.

You've spoiled it....
I have two friends that have killed lions and one of them I was actually on the hunt when he killed.
Both were by guides of the Piney Valley Ranch out west of Vail. They always use dogs and snowmobiles after finding tracks to find and tree the animal. I'd say there's not a whole lot of sport in it, but I definitely wouldn't want to be calling one.
I did get to try one of the cats as well. We made Mountain Lion chili a few years back for a Super Bowl Sunday and it pretty much tasted like pork only a little bit firmer. It was white meat and if I didn't know it was lion I would have guessed it was pork.
Okay boys (and girls), the time and place are set. I still think attendance is a key factor to success...

I suppose we'll let the online petition run through the end of the week. I really need some letters from individuals to submit.
Let's get this thing done.
I'd sure rather ask for what we want than fight to stop it from being taken away. Please help however you can...
Well guys, the time is at hand.
The online petition will close for new signatures 9 PM Central time on Tuesday, September 13, 2011.
We will accept letters up to the evening of September 14,2011 at:
co.lion@hotmail.com
The meeting will take place on September 15,2011 in Colorado Springs. Our presentation is scheduled for 11:05 AM, but Brett Ackerman, (the Regs Coordinator who has been so helpful), said to allow an hour variance either way in case the meeting is ahead of or behind schedule. He also mentioned that folks can come and go as they please so they are not stuck there all day for a 20 minute segment.
Side note:
The Commission will be making a final decision regarding the adoption of a proposed modification to current unit quota limits. In all it appears the proposal would increase the limit from 592 to 618 lions statewide.
It would be great if I could get a feel for who is going to be there. Please email me at the address above to let me know if you are coming. We can plan a time to meet.
Here is a link to the web page with all of the info on the meeting. It includes the address, agenda, and links to supporting documents for topics of discussion.

I guess it’s time to put up or shut up. Please pitch in however you can if you want to see this passed.
Thanks for the help.

Great dexterity from the lion without opposable thumbs typing that out
Well, we made it out of the first round. It was close though...
The commissioners were split right down the middle, the chairman broke the tie in our favor.
I'll find out next week what we need to do to prepare for round two.
This was an eye opener, and I feel like we just squeaked by this round. We will have to hit it with renewed vigor to take the next round.
Thanks for all of the letters and support on the petition to all who pitched in....
What is the opposition to electronic calls used for hunting lions? I would think the safety factor alone would out-weigh any opposing reason.
