The dogs barked furiously around the base of the aspen, and Whitaker scooted under the branches for a closer look under the mountain lion’s tail. “It’s not going to like that tree,” Whitaker said. The hounds forced a mountain lion to perch about 30 feet up a skinny aspen tree. About 540 yards from the road, the movement stopped. The hunters followed, using GPS trackers on the dogs’ collars. Whitaker, Christian and another friend, Jay Sills, let their five hounds smell the prints and then set them loose to follow scent through the snow and scrub oak up a rocky drainage. This cold, gray morning is perfect for the hunting of mountain lions.
