LION TALES by Jonathan Kibler

Jonathan Kibler has hunted American lions since his early teens. He’s one of just a handful of remaining purists who disdain anything but dry-ground, fair-chase cougar hunting. In his more than three decades of chasing lions through the toughest desert country in North America, Kibler has guided clients to hundreds of trophy cats and captured lions for various government and private biological studies. His hunting adventures have elevated him to legendary status as a master lion hunter of the American Southwest.

Kibler currently lives on the Two-Bar Ranch overlooking Roosevelt Lake, at the edge of the Superstition Mountain wilderness area. He guides for lion during the fall and winter and divides the rest of his time between fishing and writing western novels. “It’s a love affair, I guess, and in my blood. My grandfather was raised here and rode these same mountains. He spent most of his life on ranches here in the Superstitions and was never happy unless he was on a horse. I imagine that he too rode these same almost invisible trails...It’s haunting at times, for I feel he’s with me on the narrow rocky trails where no one has been for many years.” (LION TALES, Kibler)
