Lots of dogs will do it, most don't get the opportunity. Many do it medium to hot. They have to be looking for bobcat. Lion is like bear.

Rigging lions may be a tough deal, but my old redbones rig the hell out of lion tracks and tom scratches, and have in fact probably rigged hundreds of them over the past four or five years. If a man was in good lion country he could have a ball with those two old hounds but where I live the lion population is pretty thin. Most of the rigging I do is spring, summer and fall or early winter and is the best way to hunt open ground as you can cover alot more country than a cutter ever could....

In my opinion, a hound has to learn to rig just like a hound has to learn to cold trai, and if never given the chance that hound or hunter will never learn. To me rigging is just about more fun than the catch, as the blow always puts my heart to racing....

I know an old hounddogger that has done a little lion rigging himself in these parts and he told me on a trip down south he showed another one of the old, great, great, great lion killers of our time what a rig dog could do. I suppose that old friend of mine felt the same way when he learned I was rigging lions years ago--that is didn't believe it until he road with me one day and seeing is believing!

Good luck and put those dogs down when they hit but keep'em honest!

Good luck,
