Dwight and Rocky went on many hunting trips with Lonnie Jeffs during their youth. The lion was taken by Dwight from the Pilot Mountain Range on the Pequop Ranch near where Lonnie shot two lions eleven years earlier. Lonnie Jeffs and Johnny Tybo are now gone, but not forgotten.
Gene Robinson, an old friend of Dwight's, is now sadly gone, but not forgotten.
In 1956, Dick Hall moved to Elko County, NV, where he became the lion hunter for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and hunted mountain lions throughout the state. Hall and his trained dogs were called upon when marauding cougars caused problems by killing livestock. Hall also participated for several years in a winter mountain lion research tagging program with the NV Dept.of Wildlife.
Dick and his wife, Midge Hall, display mountain lion cubs at Dwight Lindquist's camp near Jiggs, NV, in 1977.
Tagged lion #21 was responsible for killing 18 lambs at Corta Livestock, in Jiggs, Nevada, in 1977 until Dick Hall was dispatched to the scene.
These cubs were sent to a new home in a Salt Lake City zoo.

Wiley Carrol was a renowned Nevada lion hunter and trapper dedicated to protecting sheep and cattle on public lands and private ranches.
Wiley Carrol took hundreds of mountain lions and thousands of coyotes off Nevada's public lands, making him a true expert at predatory animal control work.
These are just three of the hundreds of mountain lions Wiley Carroll (1921-2003) harvested off Nevada's public lands and ranches during his career in predatory animal control work.
Butch Boyles, spent many days hunting with his good buddy of 39 years, Dwight Lindquist. During his hunting career, Butch harvested 29 bucks with racks over 30 inches in size, most of which are pictured here.
