It seems like details of this story may be missing so if anyone has a better report feel free to post. According to what's written he tracked and killed a mountain lion with his bow without dogs? If so he would have had to track it in fresh snow to within bow range. That would be extremely difficult. It also doesn't say where but I'm assuming the Front Range foothills somewhere.

It was a problem cat up by Grant. Derek's buddy is a guide that had been told about this cat and how it had attacked some dogs in the area and they went after it and were successful. It is a big tom seeing as how Derek is 6' 5".
Edit: they had found a fresh mule deer kill and were able to track the cat from there, no dogs involved.

Surely this will ignite anti groups to further attack and win at predator management. For the love of all things living why can’t people kill predators quietly?

For the record I didn’t read any of the articles but seen it plastered everywhere this morning. Flame away on why we shouldn’t hide killing apex predators when it’s caused laws to be passed and will continue to do so…

It would be hard to get within bow range. If they aren't spooked, they can be fairly easy to catch up to if you can find fresh tracks or a kill. They move pretty slow and methodical .

There is not much love for cats around the front range right now, even the hippies are all about hunting them since they are killing a lot of dogs and stalking horses and ponies. There was a dozen dogs killed or disappeared around Nederland since the end of November alone and a lot of other towns are dealing with the same thing.

Thats one big Lion.
Hats off to the Hunter.
Impressive.

Bad bad puddy cat

Wait till wolves they voted for show up.

Nice cat!

Giant Tom! Without dogs is a major accomplishment, especially to shoot it with the bow. Congrats to Derek.

Seems weird that Nestor didn't want to use his dogs. Haven't listened to him on a podcast in a while but chasing cats with hounds always seemed like his favorite hunt.

Everything I heard was second hand, but as far as I know there were no dogs, I may be wrong though.

If no dogs were involved, that's one heck of a feat in my opinion. Calling one in without dogs is one thing, but to track one down and hit it with an arrow can't be easy at all, even with perfect conditions. I wonder if they tracked it to where it was already up in a tree, that's the only way I could imagine that happening with decent odds.

I’m sure dogs were used. But probably didn’t want to mention it as people get so fired up . People are all pissed off he killed it with a bow and didn’t go hand to hand. People are insane

Dayum! That is one Big-@ss "Corn-Fed" Mofo of a cat!

Yeah, seems I'm off base with my comment about no dogs, but if they did pull that off it's one hell of a feat.

No dogs, but he was lying next to my elk carcass, that he decided he wanted.

That was my first thought.

That cat was eating good

I'd been told dogs were used as well.

Seems like probably just a bit of exaggeration on distances and what not.
