You can usually fold them up or collapse them and store them in a backpack when not needed.

I’m not saying the story is fake. I’m just saying I don’t think it is new. I can’t even find it on their own website.
I had that mixed up. ISSUU is a website that gathers trade magazines and links you to their issues. Lone Star Outdoor News is one of those magazines/newspapers.
Thank you. Explains why I had difficult finding it.
“Which it appears to be. I don’t see how someone could shoot a mountain lion THESE DAYS, and it not be a national incident.”
You may be correct. I do not know. I have posted a couple of stories in the last couple of years about mountain lions being shot in self defense situations, and there was virtually no coverage except for local coverage.
I hope to follow up on this story, but no answer to inquires yet.

Conor Harrison (author of the story re the little gal v. the mountain lion) is also mentioned in list of outdoor publications at TexasBrigades.
Also, there is a Lone Star Outdoor news list of events - they call it their Outdoor Datebook.
Shooting sticks??? Mr Magoo could hit a moutain lion at five yards without a shooting stick!
I think there may be some connection to the Dallas Safari Club, but not sure. They seem to be a major sponsor/advertiser, anyway.

The Lonestar Publication must be doing pretty well. At least the editor/author of the article is.
Two years ago, he went on a bow hunting safari to Africa, the latest of several African safaris.
Me too. Take care.
We always hunted Texas deer out of tripod stands up off the ground about 15 feet. But even elk and bear hunting in the woods, we never used those sticks.
Bait and shoot?
What’s wrong with a little bit of corn on the road? :)
Corn on the road puts meat on the table.
It’s a little more sporting to stalk your prey, though.
ISSUU.com is a website that lets producers of print materials publish pdfs in a platform-agnostic browser-based format.
Simply stated, it presents scanned photos or multi-page pdfs in a format that any brower (Mac, PC, Mobile) can read. You've probably read embedded pdfs online without realizing you were using an ISSUU reader.
People who 'publish' their pdfs to ISSUU can get embed codes so that they can place readable pdfs into webpages.
ISSUU is just a subscription service, not a publisher; if you have a beef, take it up with the people who post to ISSUU**.

We did stalk the elk, bears and mule deer, just corn for the Texas deer.
Thanks for all the info. I had pretty much figured that out after several visits to that website.
Interesting format they have, once you figure it out. I guess I have gotten used to having the source article pop right up when going to a link, instead of having to manually flip the pages like I was actually reading the magazine.
Adding to my skepticism was the fact I never did find a date, and no one else on the thread has been able to determine when this happened, so at least a little of my skepticism was justified.
Here is the followup article with all the details, for those who have not seen it:

Thanks.
