Winter is here and the desert is cold. In the next series of videos I get serious about catching a lion. Pounding out the miles on my mules. There is  a mountain lion out there, it's just a matter of days and miles to get the hounds on a fresh enough track. This desert is one of the hardest places in the world for the hounds to trail but they try as hard as they can. It's always amazing to me the amount of try and determination a good dog has. Traditional cougar hunting on mules and free casting hounds dryground.
