Larry Amos is the head guide and owner of WinterHawk, an outfitting service Way up in the Flat Tops Wilderness of Colorado. I don't know that there is anybody who knows more about big-game hunting than Larry given that he's been hunting all his life. I was up at his place several years ago and grew to like him a bunch while I was there partly because of his great personality. Listen in on a conversation I recently had with him regarding lion hunting. "lion hunting is a unique kind and it's done December, January, February and part of March until it gets mellowed out and muddy. Basically we leave the house, I usually have three or four people hunting with me and I send a couple of them out of the ranch here. We do some of the hunting up in the Flat Tops mountains and some out of our ranch here by Collbran, Colorado. I send a couple of my guides out about 11 o'clock at night and they start cutting old logging roads and old trails with snow machines and when they find a good track, and it has to be a Tom track and it has to be a good mature lion, they sat on the track till daylight and we will turn the dogs loose on the track at daylight and we catch the lion. We also send another two guys out along about 2:00 or 2:30 and they ride the same trails that the first two guys did and if the guys at 11 o'clock didn't cut a super fresh track and a good mature lion and the second group does cut a good track in the snow, you know that you have a track that cannot be more than an hour or two old."
