The adventure, suspense and dangers of hunting American lions as told by
a man who has spent ten years tracking cougars, jaguars and bob cats up
and down the canyons and across the ranges of New Mexico and the
Southwest. The author learned- from an old hermit hunter- the secrets of
lion hunting, went out on special request to trail particular lions that
had menaced livestock or ranch houses. Here is the progression of the
hunt, from the picking up of the scent or spoor by the dogs, or the
location of the victim, to the final bagging of the game. Hibben ends
with a spectacular feat, the literal tail-grabbing of a lion which he
had treed, lassoed, and brought down alive... For the sportsman, active
or passive participant in the field.
