That's a great lion Max & totally different that hunting them in snow & in many ways tougher I think because dry tracking can erase the scent quicker & also because you can't see the tracks like you can in the snow.
Also some will wonder why you tie up the dogs, that's to keep from getting one or more of them killed if the cat comes down the tree. If the cat comes down it just wants to escape, it won't attack them with people there so you always tie them up.
Again, great hunt & a great Tom!
