It still freaks me out that an animal that might not even weigh 100 pounds yet can take down an adult elk. Noteworthy for sure. It's also cool how they tend to play surgeon when they carve out and eat the heart and liver first.
A friend of mine and I saw a lion in an Aspen grove on an elk hunt a year ago last fall. It was only 60 yards away, but when it quit moving we lost it completely. I will never forget that soul-piercing glare we got from it as it was leaving.
