I’ve never wrote a testimonial before so I feel honored.
Before the hunt – Not knowing what my next big game hunt would be for, a friend and hunting buddy of mine from Minnesota asked me if I would want to go on a lion hunt. He told me he looked into Logan Anderson and his company Seven Anchor Outfitters in AZ and wanted to know what my thoughts were.
I got on their website and scrolled through the testimonials page. Reading through the many stories left from satisfied customers I decided to call one of the hunters that had listed his contact info. Following our conversation I phoned my hunting buddy and decided to book a hunt with Logan for late January 2016.
On the hunt – We spent the first 4 days getting up at 4:00am and riding a horse from 18-25 miles a day. I saw some of the most breathtaking scenery at the numerous locations we hunted. We saw lion tracks at every location where the dogs would take off on some and some they would not. Every time they would I thought, “this was the one.” Logan then would explain that it was probably an old track but I couldn’t help but think the latter.
On the 5th day we started off at a new location spotting tracks but nothing fresh. Logan decided to load up and check yet another spot and within 15 minutes of riding the dogs struck something up. It was around 1:00pm and we were high enough where we could watch the dogs work which was a pretty amazing sight to see first hand. We followed the dogs on horseback while they “did their thing” for what seemed like 3hrs of crawling over boulders and climbing up and down hills. All week long Logan told me that if his dog named Bill “struck up” to have bow in hand, arrow nocked, and come running (I honestly thought “Bill” was mute). But sure enough when Bill struck up Logan looked at me and said, “we better get down there.” I get there and see Bill and all 11 other dogs barking up at a big cat standing at the top of a two story boulder looking down at them. What a beautiful sight. I was shaking like a leaf but fortunately made a good shot.
This by far ranks up there as one of the best hunts that I’ve ever been on. Instead of telling you how hard Logan and his dogs work and how good a cook Josie is, I thought I would share a little of my hunt.
