A Primal Wilderness...
I once
found myself 50 feet from a large male cougar, while bushwhacking
up a steep ridge in the Cascade Mountains.
I was left with a deepened reverence for our last American Lion,
and for the wilderness they belong in.

Mountain Lion in the Mist
One of the
surviving large predator species left in North America, the American
Mountain Lion (puma concolor) was once widely distributed across
the continent, but has seen most of its range reduced to the
states west of the Mississipi and the small and endangered population
of the Florida Panther. It lives a secretive and tenuous existance,
balanced precariously between shrinking habitat, loss of prey
species and hunting. The reintroduction of wolf packs has also
had an effect on cougars that inhabit the same territory. Wolf
packs have been known to attack and kill mountain lions.

Cougar Alert
A mother cougar
sits unflinching on powerful haunches as she assesses a potential
threat. One such threat comes in the form of hunting dogs with
radio beacons on their collars. This is the method many cougar
hunters employ to bag their "trophy." Once the dogs
have the cougar cornered or "treed," the hunter grabs
his rifle and remote tracking device, finds where his dogs have
the animal trapped, and kills the cowering cat. It's considered
a sport by many hunters and guides who charge big fees for the
thrill they provide their customers. Wildlife agencies in many
states are mostly funded by the sale of hunting licenses, including
thousands in fees for the legal permission to kill these magnificent
predators.
