Being a successful outfitter means 60 to 80
hour work weeks most of the year. It begins with
strategic advertising, website, sport shows, -
recruitment and retention of clientele – and
finally culminates with the hunt or fishing
trip itself. Livestock, trucks, trailers and camp
equipment must be cared for year ‘round, and
then, there is the paperwork. Federal and State
agencies need, require, demand record keep-
ing such as employee records, BLM and Forest
permits, Outfitters Registration, vehicle and
liability insurance, and the list goes on.
Some outfitters prudently join COA and other
professional organizations, and a few become
active in those organizations. Even fewer give
selflessly of their time and energy, attending
countless meetings and taking on leadership
roles.
All of the above describes Jeanne Horne.
Jeanne is a single person who not only operates
a successful outfitting business but has been
actively involved in the Colorado Outfitters
Association for over a decade and has made
time to be our dedicated Secretary for the past
10 years. She is truly a valued asset of this
association.
Congratulations Jeanne! We honor you with
respect and appreciation for the person you
are.

COLORADODIVISIONOFWILDLIFE
To manage big game animals to assure sustainable hunting
opportunities and resource preservation, the Colorado Division of
Wildlife issues a limited number of licenses through a drawing process
for most species.
For big game, over-the-counter licenses are available for bull
elk only during the second and third seasons. Hunters who want
licenses for deer and other big game – including elk during the first
and fourth rifle seasons and in some specific game management
units and seasons - must apply annually.
Here’s how the application and draw system works:
Hunters apply for licenses and submit up to four choices for the
game management units desired. Applicants who don’t get their first
choice get a preference point for that unit. An applicant can also
purchase one point each year for $25. However, no more than one
preference point can be awarded per species per year. Points
are awarded for each individual species.
The number of preference points needed to draw a license depends
on the species, season and the particular game management unit.
For the most coveted units, hunters must accumulate numerous
preference points to have a chance to obtain a license in the draw.
An example: To obtain an either sex elk license during the first rifle
season in GMU 1, Colorado residents need 10 preference points and a
non-resident must accumulate 16 preference points. In that unit,
more than 1,100 people apply but only 26 licenses are issued.
If you want to accumulate points for a preferred unit, but you still
want to hunt for that season, apply to a coveted unit but pick units
with zero point requirements for your subsequent choices. Preference
points continue to accumulate until you receive a first-choice license.
For cow elk, the majority of game management units require no
preference points, so everyone who applies has a similar chance
of drawing a license. For buck deer, many units require 1-2 points;
limited elk units require even more points.
The DOW maintains a permanent preference point record for
everyone who applies. The record is automatically referenced when
a hunter applies for a unit that requires points.
Most big game licenses are reserved for Colorado residents. For
units and species that require five or more preference points, 80
percent of the licenses are allocated to residents, the remainder
to non-residents. If fewer than five preference points are needed,
65 percent of the licenses are allocated for state residents and the
remainder for non-residents.
A complete explanation for all species and a list of preference-point
requirements for the upcoming season is published each year in the
March/April edition of Colorado Outdoors, the DOW’s magazine.
The information is also published on the DOW’s web site,
www.wildlife.state.co.us.
The drawing for licenses is always held on the first Tuesday in April.
Results are posted on the web site. Leftover licenses go on sale the
second Tuesday in August and are available until they are sold out.

Mack McGraw of Gunnison began outfitting and guiding in 1948.
That career had a lifespan of 40 years and ended after the hunt in
1987. For the first twenty years, Mack hunted the Red Creek and the
Rock Springs country in some of the most rugged parts of what is now
designated the West Elk Wilderness. Then he moved operations to
his rustic cabin base camp on the rim of Powderhorn Creek where he
gained a reputation for top mule deer buck hunting.
Mack was active in helping to improve Colorado outfitting and
hunting conditions by working with other outfitters and legislators
to obtain early licensing for outfitters by the Division of Wildlife,
and seeking blaze orange laws and other legislation in the late
1960s and early 1970s. He was president of the Colorado Guides
& Outfitters Association for a term in 1970/71. Mac was always an
active participant in the Gunnison chapters of the Colorado Guides &
Outfitters Assoc. and the Colorado Outfitters Association.
Mack still resides in Gunnison where he is a treasure of facts,
tales, and knowledge of hunting, fishing, outfitting, and history of
rural life in western Colorado. He has
authored three books
including: “Mountain
Tales, Faded Tracks &
Hi-Jinks”, “Hunters Attract
Flies – Fishermen Do Too!”
and “Cowboy Rhymes &
Mountain Whimsies; poems,
sayings, and stuff from this
mountain domain.”
We are proud to salute
Mack as an honorary life
member of the Colorado
Outfitters Association and as
an example of a life well lived in
the outdoors of western Colorado.

Colorado offers millions of acres of widely varied terrain for hunting.
Out-of-state hunters might find it very helpful to hire an outfitter to
guide them on their hunts. Outfitters know the lay of the land, the
habits of the animals and some of the best places to hunt.
Most hunters come to Colorado to hunt mule deer and elk. These two
species offer some of the most challenging hunting in the world.
But Colorado’s high country is also home to other magnificent big
game animals: bighorn sheep, pronghorns, mountain goats, bears,
moose and mountain lions. The numbers of these animals in the state
are significantly lower than deer and elk, so licenses are few and
difficult to obtain. But those who do obtain a license can look forward
to a high-quality hunting experience.
Here is a rundown of big game hunting in Colorado. For more
information on these species and how to get licenses, go to:
http://colorado.gov/wildlife. Go to the hunting section where you’ll
find lots of information about how to plan a hunt in Colorado.
Read the articles in the new “Elk Hunting University” section
that addresses all aspects of elk hunting, including how to find
an outfitter.
HuntingElk
The popular hunting magazines often display colorful photographs of
huge bull elk standing in open meadows presenting easy targets. The
reality in the mountains of Colorado, however, is far different.
Hunting elk is one of the most exciting big-game pursuits in North
America. But stalking these animals is challenging, and most hunters
won’t get easy shots.
“What the hunting magazines show is usually not the case,” says Patt
Dorsey, with a slight laugh. An avid big game hunter, Dorsey is also
an area wildlife manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife in Durango.
“You’re a lot more likely to find elk on a steep hillside in a mountain
canyon in thick timber than out in the open,” Dorsey said.
It’s estimated that there are about 280,000 elk in Colorado. The
hunting success rate for the species is about 24 percent. During the
2010 seasons, total harvest for all manner of take was 48,018 elk
with a statewide success rate of 22 percent. The total number of elk
hunters was 214,535.
If weather is warm, elk stay at high elevations and in the timber to
help them stay cool. Consequently, hunters need to work hard to get
shots. When snow falls, elk move to lower elevations and bunch up,
often on private land.
Hunters who expect to be successful will leave the ATV behind and
hunt slowly and quietly far from any road. Elk are very smart animals,
Dorsey explains. They quickly sense movement in the woods and at
any hint of danger move quickly and hide in rugged, difficult terrain.
COLORADO IS BIG GAME HUNTERS’ PARADISE
29 ColoradoOutfitters|www.coloradooutfitters.org
Compounding the challenge for hunters is the fact that elk typically
gather in groups of 10 or more.
“That means they have a lot of eyes looking out for each other,” Dorsey
says. “They are very communicative and will talk back and forth with
barks. If one gets spooked, they’re all spooked and then they’re gone.”
Unlike deer, elk are not curious animals - they won’t stop to look at
what’s near them or what’s startled them.
“Once elk start running they usually won’t stop until they believe
they’re safe. They can easily run for a mile or more,” Dorsey says.
To hunt elk, the first thing Dorsey advises is to get off the ATV and
walk. It’s rare that a hunter will see an elk from a road during the
season - let alone get a shot. When elk start hearing the noise of
vehicles they move far away from roads.
Elk are most active during the night and are likely to be grazing in
transition areas - meadows next to heavy timber, where different types
of vegetation meet, just above or below ridgelines. The transition
areas provide not only good food sources, but also good escape routes.
Hunters should watch those areas at first light and at dusk.
During the day, hunters need to move into the dark timber and not
be hesitant to hunt in difficult areas. Hunters should move as quietly
as possible for short distances, and then scan the woods for several
minutes before moving again. Even in dense forest it’s a good idea
to use binoculars so you can discern subtle movement or colors in
the trees.
“With binoculars it’s a lot easier to see the tip of an antler, or an
unusual horizontal feature in all that vertical vegetation,” Dorsey says.
If you find the areas where animals graze at night, it’s likely that
you’ll find them in adjacent areas during the day. Elk like to remain
in one area for most of the day. So a stealthy stalk is the key. Hunters
also must be willing to venture into difficult terrain and thick forested
areas.
When hunting in areas with roads, move far above or far below the
roads to find elk. In areas where there are two roads, locate the most
difficult terrain in between.
Elk will move to lower elevations as the weather cools - but it must
be a substantial change. Snow that allows tracking always provides
hunters an advantage. Elk usually won’t make a big move to lower
elevations until the snow depths are a foot or more.
Elk can be found in the mountains throughout Colorado, but the most
renowned area is in the northwest region of the state. The largest

herd in the area, 40,000 animals, summers on the pristine high
plateau known as the Flat Tops and migrates 50 miles into the lower
altitude areas of Routt, Moffat and Rio Blanco counties. The areas
hold abundant habitat where elk can thrive during the winter when
temperatures are relatively mild compared with other areas in western
Colorado.
“There is a lot of transition mountain brush which they like and plenty
of room for them to spread out in the winter range,” says Darby Finley,
a terrestrial biologist for Parks and Wildlife in northwest Colorado.
“They follow the food and there is a lot of it throughout the year.”
Wherever you choose to hunt, be sure to line up your shot carefully
before you pull the trigger. Because of their size and endurance it can
be difficult to knock an elk down. It’s important to hit them in the
critical area of the lungs and the heart. Aim just behind and below the
front quarters.
Colorado is the only state where an elk license can be purchased over-
the-counter. That fact draws a lot of hunters to Colorado; but there are
enough elk to provide good hunting opportunities for anyone who buys
a license.
For first time elk hunters, go to the video section of the Parks and
Wildlife website to view an instructional video on how to field dress
and elk.
HuntingDeer
Every year thousands of hunters head to the plains, the foothills and
the high country in Colorado to hunt deer. Most hunters stalk mule
deer in the mountains and the foothills, but the allure of stalking the
wily white tail deer in eastern Colorado is growing in popularity.
Whichever type of deer you choose, you are sure to face a challenging
hunt. The deer population in Colorado is steady, with an estimated
population of about 430,000. In 2010, some 78,000 licenses were sold
and about 34,000 deer were taken by hunters for a success rate of 43
percent.
In the late 1990s, the deer population declined substantially. Colorado
Parks and Wildlife moved to bolster the population by eliminating over-
the-counter sales of deer licenses. Now, licenses can only be obtained
through the limited draw that takes place on the first Tuesday of April
every year.
Limiting licenses has greatly improved the health of Colorado’s deer
herds and helped to allow more bucks to grow to trophy size.
The drawing also has made licenses more difficult to obtain in some
areas of the state. But hunters who obtain a license are assured of a
high-quality hunting experience. After the drawing, leftover licenses
are often available in a few areas of the state. Leftover licenses go
on sale during the first week of August. Go to any agency office or the
web site to check the status of leftover licenses.
Whitetails
In Colorado, whitetails can be found on the eastern plains. A big
white-tail buck can reach 250 pounds. These animals spend most of
their time in the river and creek bottoms, taking protection in stands
of cottonwood trees and the thick brush of riparian areas. Like elk,
they are primarily grazers, so they go to the river and creek bottoms in
search of succulent grasses. At dusk they’ll move out of those areas
and into farmers’ fields.
“Whitetails are harder to hunt than mule deer,” says Marty Stratman,
a terrestrial biologist for Parks and Wildlife in northeast Colorado.
“Mule deer show curiosity and will stop and look around. But with
whitetails, if they see you, they’re gone.”
Hunting whitetails requires slow, patient stalks along the edges of
riparian areas, Stratman explains. The deer can hide easily along
the river and creek bottoms. Getting a shot at a deer hiding in thick
vegetation can be difficult.
Private property provides most of the good white-tail hunting areas in
eastern Colorado, so white-tail hunters should expect to put in some
time in obtaining the necessary permission from land owners.

MuleDeer
Muleys are found throughout the varied terrain of Colorado. They live
on the eastern plains, in foothills of the Eastern Slope, in dark timber
and Aspen forests, in alpine areas above timberline, and in the red
rock canyons on the western edge of the state. You can pick the type
of experience you’d like when hunting for mule deer -- from a grueling
climb into the high country, to an exciting scramble in the canyons.
A large mule deer buck can reach 400 pounds. Most range in size from
200 to 300 pounds. In the mountains and foothills, mule deer don’t
spend much time in dark, heavy timber, explains Dorsey. They are
primarily browsers and prefer aspen forests where there are plenty of
low shrubs and small trees, oak brush and areas along the edges of
different forest types.
Mule deer are most active at night and can often be found in meadow
areas during low-light hours. During the day, muleys will bed down in
protective cover.
In warm weather look for deer along ridgelines, Dorsey explained. They
often use those areas because wind is consistent along ridges and
helps to keep them cool.
During the low-light hours of evening and morning, look for meadows
at the edge of thick cover. If you see where they are feeding during
times of low-light, it’s likely they’ll move into nearby timbered areas
to rest for part of the day. Deer also tend to move during the middle of
the day toward the areas where they feed in the evening.
Dorsey recommends making a slow stalk.
“I tell people to walk for 10 yards and then look for 10 minutes,”
Dorsey says.
Mule deer have an excellent sense of smell, so if the wind is blowing
in the direction you are moving, chances are the animals will pick
up your scent and move. Dorsey also says that deer go to creeks at
night to drink, so there is no advantage to hunting near water sources
during the day.
One advantage mule deer give hunters is their curiosity. When mule
deer are spooked, they’ll often run a short distance then turn to
determine if they are being pursued. That can be a good time for a
shot, Dorsey says.
A small amount of snow will get deer moving out of high altitude
areas. Usually by late October, migrating herds will move to winter
range areas, even if there is no snow.
Hunters who get a shot at a deer should realize that the vital organ
area for deer presents a small target – about the size of a dinner plate
just behind the front quarter.
“Make sure you can make a good shot at that area. And hunters
should never try to make a head shot. A lot of deer are wounded with
poorly placed shots,” Dorsey says.
Pronghorn
Serious pronghorn hunters are willing to wait years for the opportunity
to hunt trophy bucks in the best pronghorn units in Colorado. All
Colorado pronghorn hunting tags are issued by draw.
The average buck tag requires two to three preference points, but tags
for premium units can require five or more points. Doe tags are easier
to draw, but most hunters still need at least one point.

The majority of pronghorns are in northwest
Colorado and on the eastern plains. Small
populations of Pronghorn also are found in
North Park, Middle Park, South Park and the
San Luis Valley.
Demand for tags in the northwest region is
usually highest, so more points are required.
There are two reasons more hunters apply in
the northwest: there are big herds with big
bucks; hunters have the opportunity to hunt
on both public and private land.
In eastern Colorado there are also large herds
and trophy bucks. Most of the land, however,
is private with the exception of some isolated
pockets of public land including the Pawnee
National Grasslands in the northeast and
the Comanche National Grasslands in the
southeast.
The good news is that many ranchers and
farmers in eastern Colorado are willing to
grant permission to those who want to
hunt pronghorn.
The best advice for a hunter to gain access
to private land is to ask permission well
in advance of the season. Never wait until
opening day. If properly asked in advance,
many landowners are willing to allow
pronghorn hunting. Some will even offer
directions to the best pronghorn locations,
and information about watering holes and
road access.
In 2010, Colorado Parks and Wildlife issued
about 19,000 licenses, 12,300 animals were
harvest for a hunter success rate
of 65 percent.
Since the time of Lewis and Clark, early
settlers called pronghorns “antelope.”
Pronghorns, however, are a unique species
found only in North America. Their historic
range is west of the Mississippi River from
southern Canada to central Mexico.
Recovery of pronghorns is one of the great
conservation stories in the history of the
American West. Biologists estimate there
were 30-40 million pronghorns in North
America prior to European settlement. By
the 1920’s, there were fewer than 40,000.
34 ColoradoOutfitters|www.coloradooutfitters.org
Hunting for pronghorns was suspended across the West for several
decades. After the population began to increase, hunting in Colorado
was allowed starting in 1945. Since then the population has grown
steadily. In the early 60’s there were only about 15,000 pronghorn in
Colorado; today the population is estimated at about 80,000.
Moose
Colorado’s moose reintroduction is one of the most successful species
conservation programs in state history. Moose were introduced to
Colorado in the mid 1970s, and thanks to sportsmen’s’ dollars and
support, Colorado is now home to a growing population of more than
1,600 moose. These largest members of the deer family can be found
in many parts of the state and have become highly sought-after by
wildlife watchers and hunters.
Because moose are relatively rare, hunting licenses for moose are very
restricted. In 2010, Colorado issued about 215,000 elk licenses, but
only 163 moose licenses. Because so few licenses are issued, overall
hunter success is high, usually 80 percent or more. The lifetime bag
limit for bull moose in Colorado is one.
During the 2010 season, a total of 136 moose were harvested: 75 bulls
and 61 cows.
Moose are solitary and reproduce slowly. Moose are common in North
Park, Middle Park, in the areas around Steamboat Springs, Rio Grande
National Forest, and Grand Mesa National Forest. The animals have
also recently been introduced into the White River National Forest east
of Meeker. However, hunters in all mountainous terrain should expect
that they could encounter moose while hunting deer and elk.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is concerned about an unacceptably high
number of moose that have been mistakenly shot by elk hunters.
During the last two hunting seasons, the agency has investigated
more than 20 cases of hunters carelessly or negligently shooting
moose. Despite years of education efforts surrounding moose
reintroduction, including direct outreach to hunters with licenses in
northwest Colorado, some hunters said they were surprised to see
these big animals in areas where elk and deer are common.
“We are seeing way too many preventable mistakes,” said Ron Velarde,
northwest regional manager for the agency. “If you aren’t 100 percent
sure that what you have in your sights is what you have on your
license, do not pull the trigger.”
Mitchell Arnold
35 ColoradoOutfitters|www.coloradooutfitters.org
While cow elk and cow moose may be
confused in low light or when obscured by
brush, bull elk and bull moose look nothing
alike. Proper target identification is one of
the first rules taught in hunter education
courses. Properly identifying the target not
only ensures you are taking the proper species
and gender but also prevents hunters from
shooting at sound or movement - something
that should never happen.
Hunters who mistakenly kill the wrong animal,
or know of someone who did, are urged
to immediately contact a wildlife officer.
Wildlife officers will seize the erroneously
killed animal and donate the meat. Hunters
who mistakenly kill a moose and don’t turn
themselves in are subject to heavy fines and
penalties if wildlife officers have to track
them down.
BighornSheep
The Rocky Mountain bighorn is perhaps the
most recognized and sought after animal in
Colorado. The curled horns of the rams are
one of the most distinctive ornaments of any
wildlife species.
But while the hardy animals live in harsh
terrain, bighorns are a fragile species and
Colorado wildlife managers are keeping a
close watch on them. The population of big
horns is estimated at only about 6,900, and
the population has dropped slightly in the
past few years. Bighorns are susceptible
to diseases transmitted when they mingle
with domestic sheep. Wildlife managers
work to keep the two species separate, but

that’s a difficult task in the vast areas of
Colorado. Researchers also are experimenting
with vaccines that could give some sheep
immunity to the strains of bacteria that cause
sheep to contract pneumonia-like diseases.
And throughout
the state, researchers have placed radio
collars on animals to track their movements
and survival rates.
In 2010, Colorado Parks and Wildlife issued
278 licenses and a total of 144 animals were
harvested - 118 rams and 26 ewes. Getting a
license is difficult, with most hunters waiting
a minimum of five years to draw a tag.
Depending on the unit, many hunters have
waited more than 10 years for a license.
The preferred habitat of bighorns is steep,
rocky slopes with little vegetation.
“They are very challenging to hunt,” says
Scott Wait, a senior terrestrial biologist for the
agency.
While not meaning to be discouraging, Wait
doesn’t mince words about the realities of
hunting for sheep.
“They are very wary,” Wait says “The stalk
is usually long, strenuous and in difficult
terrain,”
Retrieving an animal from steep rocky
mountainsides, of course, adds to the hunting
challenge.
The good news for hunters is that bighorns
are most active during the day and follow
predictable daily patterns.
Colorado is also home to desert bighorn
sheep. This species is low in number and only
about 450 animals are estimated to roam
the desert areas in western Colorado. Big
game managers, however, are encouraged
that the population is growing slowly. Only 10
ram licenses were issued in 2009 and all the
hunters were successful.
MountainGoats
The adaptable, hardy mountain goats seem to
defy gravity. These snow-white critters inhabit
terrain that is even more severe than the
haunts of bighorn sheep.

Goats balance on narrow bands of rock on
sheer cliffs, and eat lichen and small plants.
They seem to think nothing of jumping from
one precipice to another. Goats also remain at
high-elevation year around, enduring brutal
winter conditions above timberline at more
than 11,000 feet.
Mountain goats were transplanted in Colorado
from other states in the 1940s. There is still
debate if they were ever native to the state.
Goats are very adaptable and can move long
distances to get to new terrain. Unfortunately,
they also are aggressive and can muscle
native bighorn sheep from their terrain.
Consequently, wildlife managers work to
keep the goats in areas where they’ve long
been established and where they don’t
interact with bighorns. These areas include
the Raggeds Wilderness near Gunnison, in
the mountains around Georgetown, in the
Collegiate Peaks west of Buena Vista, in the
Gore Range in the central mountains, in the
San Juan Mountains near Silverton, and in the
Poudre River drainage in northern Colorado.
The agency estimates the mountain goat
population at about 1,700. In 2010, 220
licenses were issued and 159 goats--94
males and 65 females-- were harvested for a
harvest rate of 50 percent.
Those who want to hunt goats should expect
to wait five years or more to accumulate
enough preference points for a license.
BlackBears
After being adversely affected by drought in
the early 2000s, the black bear population
appears to have made a strong comeback
in Colorado. Bears are very dependent on
specific types of plants for survival. Adequate
rain and snow in most parts of the state
during the last few years has helped spur
growth of good crops of acorns in scrub oak,
serviceberry, choke cherries and a variety of
grasses and forbs.
Bears are mostly solitary and reproduce
slowly. Sows do not start producing cubs until
they are about five years old and then can
only give birth every other year. Cubs often
stay with their mothers for up to two years.
Bears range generally in size from about 175
pounds for a sow and up to about 300 pounds
for a boar. Few bears exceed 400 pounds in
Colorado.
Colorado’s most abundant bear populations
can be found primarily between 8,000 feet
to 9,500 feet in elevation in thick oak brush
and aspen groves. But bears also inhabit
ponderosa pine forests and riparian areas
where there is sufficient forage. Population
and reproduction vary depending on the
availability of their favorite foods – acorns
from oak brush, berries, grasses and forbs.
When the weather is wet, that’s good news
for bears. Fewer bears are born during
drought years.
The difficulty in obtaining a bear license
depends on the season and the specific
game management unit. Most bears are
killed in September when they are most
active searching for food before they go into
hibernation. Consequently, licenses during
the September season are difficult to get.
After September, licenses for most units can
be purchased over-the-counter. Some deer
and elk hunters buy a bear tag because the
seasons are concurrent.
In 2010, just over 9,500 licenses were issued
and 800 bears were killed by hunters. One
reason for the low harvest success rate - just
8 percent - is that bears are difficult to hunt
because they live primarily in thick brush.
Also, after September their eating slows down
and they are more difficult to find. By early
November, most bears are curled up for their
six-month nap.
Most bears are harvested when the weather
is warm, so a successful hunter must attend
to the carcass quickly. Remove the hide as
fast as possible after the kill and trim away
the fat. Then get the meat on ice as soon as
Larry Ehardt

possible. In warm weather, meat will spoil quickly.
Anyone who harvests a bear also must bring the carcass to a Parks
and Wildlife office within five days of the kill so the sex and size can
be determined and entered into a data base. Researchers are removing
a small tooth – the first premolar – from which can be determined
how many times a sow has given birth to cubs, and the age of the
animal. The inspection aids in research and in managing the bear
population.
MountainLions
The most elusive big game animal in Colorado is the mountain lion.
Also known as pumas or cougars – they live in areas where there is
dense vegetation and often very broken terrain such as canyons and
rocky hillsides. Deer are the primary prey for Colorado’s biggest
native cat.
For the 2010-11 season, 1,739 licenses were issued and 374 lions
were taken by hunters.
Licenses for lions can be purchased over-the-counter and the season
lasts from November through March. Hunters who obtain licenses must
call in every day to check if quotas have been filled in specific game
management units.
Most lion hunting occurs when there is snow on the ground. Dogs pick
up the scent from tracks and chase the lions into trees. The chase is
often long and challenging through difficult terrain.
