A hunting story, author unknown

More from the book of remembrance. I don't know who the author is here.

Glen always loves to go into the mountains and take his hounds and get lions, bears or any other wild beast. Sometime ago 1967, he and 4 or 5 other men went lion hunting. Now one of these men with his hounds had run on to some lion tracks, but had to give them up on account of night coming on. Next morning at 5 A.M. Glen and the other men left, they got to where they left the night before. The hounds were barking at the lions when the men caught up with them, the lions on in one tree and the other in another tree. The trees were very close to a very large ledge. One of the men decided to climb up the tree to scare them out. And of course Glen was throwing snowballs at them trying to scare them out. Finally on lion decided to come down after that man was going to get them out. It scared him so bad he jumped 15 feet out of the tree. About that times one man shot and hit this lion he fell and landed on a ledge in the rocks. The other fellow shot the other lion out of the tree. He fell under the tree. That was a very good experience that those men and Glen had. Glen stated he has never had so much fun.
