THEBUGLER'S GIANT IDAHO MTN LION! 

Congrats Dirk on a great Time. Dogs are amazing and their capabilities. Good dogs are priceless, sorry of time and money and care. Definitely in my bucket list to get a big ol Tom!

Awesome video congratulations to all involved. Great job Dirk

Dream hunt right there. Great job Dirk. Outstanding video

Fantastic video and hunt Dirk!!! Truly enjoyed every minute of it. Really showed the ins and outs of it so we can appreciate it!

Congrats Dirk! 160 lbs is a stud of a lion! I love listening to an epert lion hunter like Bradley talk about the habits of these big cats. Such a secretive critter that makes a living killing on its own. Great video!

Tough but FANTASTIC hunt 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼 great video and VERY well put together!

What an amazing hunt!! I could feel the intensity during the harvest; and the respect towards the cat was very well shown. Congratulations

Enjoyed the stories and history of hounds along the way.

Congratulations on your dream hunt. Really interesting hunt to watch

Congratulations on your big tom. I also have had that great experience of catching up with a big lion after days of tracking like that. The best part of it was with my daughter. You see, she is also a houndsman ( women ) as she calls it. She raises and hunts her own breed. Amazing dogs for sure. Pet can pick up a three day old track in the snow and have him treed before noon. Good job Dirk.

Awesome. Great cat! CONGRATS Dirk!

Outstanding film great portrayal of a true houndsmen, Bradley is a great representation of the houndsmen community. Congrats Dirk on a awesome cat

Awesome hunt also beautiful big Tom taken. Love it hunt on my Brother 👍🏽👍🏽

Congratulations Dirk, you couldn't have hunted with a better bunch of guys.

Heck yeah! Congrats guys

Awesome what an adventure, congrats

Great video and hunt thanks for sharing very enjoyable too watch lance

Congratulations Dirk! That's an adrenaline rush for sure, great shooting. Looking forward to hearing about your favorite dish, BBQ pulled sandwiches are tasty in my book. :-)

For me, watching a great dog work whether it’s a hound in pursuit or a bird dog working it’s 99% of the hunt. Beautiful long tail Dirk!

Great video! Those guys are some true houndsman

Good show!

Just hunted with Bradley this week. This hunt looks awesome!

Great video, congrats!!

Great Job Buddy!

Pretty happy to be able to call bradley my friend. Best damn hunter i know!

Damn that cat ate 2 arrows and was able to run that far. Damn. Good job dirk

watching from down here in New Zealand..awesome hunt…we don’t have mountain lions…i can understand your hunting philosophy down to the tee…i can also relate to your attachment to your dogs…i’m a dog lover myself..not too big on people..if i lost all my material possessions as long as i still had my dogs i’d feel whole..God Bless you and your family bro!

Man this was an exciting hunt to watch. Especially when you draw back

Awesome I have had 2 come in while elk hunting killed 1 at full charge arrow through the throat, only 118 pounds 6ft 11 in

I lost my Plott this past January. Molly was 14. I love Plotts.

Congrats Dirk. Just found out my job is taking me to Idaho to live and work.

First time on your channel. Great cinematography and suspense!

That's a great cat Dirk! That one won't be killing elk and deer anymore.

Great video.

Awesome! One of my dreams to do! I have eaten cougar before and it's sooo good! You ground yours..what did you do with it after grinding?

One of the coolest experience’s to hunt with hounds. 👍🏽

awesome!

Great lion.. look like the dam dog chewed the hide up at the end .. haha

Brother,,did that stuff for over 40, yr's,, ))Your A Real Hound Man,, 👍🙏🦊

Fine look n hounds. I ran coons for years with Walkers and Plotts. I loved a good chase.

Great hunt and video.

Need to do a Cook & Consume video on this.... What do they taste like ???

Watching those dogs do their thing is so cool. Hope you did a soft mount so it can ride around in the car with you like Ricky Bobby did when he got his ballzz back. Congrats!

Great video and hunt that’s for sharing very enjoyable too watch

Rhubarb! Definitely can tell you grew up in a Idaho logging town.

T totally awesome hunt!! Congratulations on your harvest 💪 great job done by all now let's eat!!

The three legged dog is something else man. All heart loves to hunt. So cool men

Awesome job and congrats, hunting with hounds is a great sport and in our family we have 4 generations. Always carry a chainsaw.

“He looks beautiful “ just so that i am clear and not nieve. Are we killing him bc he is threatening livestock , or we eating him? Or what?

Most excellent hunt!

Good hunt, I love the close up on the cat

Good job buddy, that 3 legged dog, what a deal, he made my heart very happy when he was under the cat at the tree- :)

Who sings that song at 13min please let me know it hits home I hunt alone 90% of the time! Amazing hunt congrats on that amazing Tom great last hunt for the big cats!

What a ride Bro! You guys just saved the lives of more deer killed in 1 year with taking that long tail than the Eagle Caps Wilderness has in the whole area (Thanks to the predator problem like lions, wolves and bears) But! wow, congrats on a beautiful animal my friend, tough conditions, but worth the effort. 👍

right on ! life is great > cougar steak

I lost both my parents in 2015 and all I have left is my animals, two blue heelers that are THE most important thing in my life!! I will be forever sad when they move on in the universe, one is getting pretty old, he’s the best boy ever, I cherish his every existence. So with all that said, I truly understand the loss of Rose, dogs are amazing friends and are our best loyal friends ever!! Best of luck in life!! 👍👍

You the man I like this shit a lot man! Respect !

Thats one big cat

what kind of dogs do you have /use for these hunts?

Are the bells to detour the wolves ? Just curious

Wow, that is an apex predator no doubt. Those things are so intimidating. The one encounter I have had with lions was riding a dirt bike, I came around a corner and a female and two year and a half old young with her, they stooped down in the middle of the trail at 10 yards and sat there staring me down. I revved the bike up at them, they didn't flinch, just looked me over and walked away real slow.....They had an eerie, hair raising confidence about them.

Ran into several in Idaho of regular lions but once on a trail I came across a truly large one. When you come across a truly large one the head is huge.

Was it any good eating ?

Why 2 gps collars? Why not telemetry for backup instead??

I heard lion meat is amazing. I'm still waiting for someone to bring one into the shop. Congrats man

They eat good Mountain goat then Lion

THECOUGLER

Seems cruel too shoot him with arrows. He died fairly quick, at least it looked that way. Merry Christmas all.

That is definitely a elk killing machine. Great cat and cool story behind it. Nice shooting Dirk.

I like this guy already! Leave them females alone!

Losing a dog is very hard! I know what that’s like. Your dog is like a very huge part of your family.

What did you shoot it with what caliber

That dog desperately chewing/biting on that lion shows just how much it hates lions.

A great dog in any venue is an incredible thing to see in action: - whether a livestock, hunting - or - LE dog some are absolutely mindblowingly intelligent & courageous...! CASE IN POINT WAS ~ Seeing a 3 legged Heeler take down a 2,000 renegade bull that was endangering local peopled was eye opening; in seeing him herd that bull nto his stall & trembling = as that dog sat 4ft away watching as the 5 armed farmers(shotguns+rifles) made it back to the barn who were ready to shoot that bull a 1/4 mile out in a neighboring pasture...!

What is the name of this outfitters please? I am interested!

Do you possum hunt ?

Ok, i heard it were protecting livestock.

Great hunting story. Really enjoyed listening to Bradley talk about his dog's was pretty awesome insight. Can't lie hearing the Christmas Day passing of his dog w/ the family all gathered around touched a cord. Ppl who say it's unfair an inhumane to hunt cougars w/ dog's needs to hear this man talk about his pack. If that's inhumane, then I guess I don't understand the meaning of the word. Well done doc.

I don’t understand u say u won’t kill a cat but u help others too. Why won’t u ever shoot a Thor one?

siip hewan pemakan piaraan harus di buru dan di basmi 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Saving elk and deer

if you don't eat it, don't shoot it. ego

왜 죽이는거???

FJB

Sorry…..not for me. To each their own.
