  • It does not seem right at all to hunt these..the poor cats are always killed in a complete state of terror and it is all in the name of sport...some people's detrimental hobby. i don't think these cats should be put through that sort of terror and then killed because some people find it fun. just doesn't weigh up with me.

  • What made this extra good is the guys voice. So cool.

  • this is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. I am a native Nebraskan, and I enjoyed your commentary and story.

  • Great video man, listen I'm from southamerica and as you know, we have mountain lions too, we can find them in the moutains (Andes) and the amazon jungle, but there are no "hunting seasons" here , (sometimes only in argentina) because we protect our lions as much as we can, and I hope you can stop the "hunting seasons " in your country. Mountain lions are beautiful and awesome cats!..

  • What a great experience.

  • excellent video!

    

  • Great video! It's too bad several of these cats are put down for entering towns. I honestly think the one in Kearney recently was desperately trying to find his way back out of town before being trapped and killed. In any event, you got a great video. Thanks for posting it here.

  • "He's New York..."

    Not all New Yorkers are cowards....

  • Great piece of video!!!

  • Thank you for the post. It seems to verify what the experts say: Mountain lions are not generally interested in people. Scientists have shown that American lions also provide services to the environment by keeping ungulates moving--ecology of fear, it's called--which prevents the deer, elk, etc from over-browsing an area. We really need to protect our lions before we hunt them to extinction. California has set a standard by stopping hunting of mountain lions., back in the 1970s. Beautiful cats!
