Mountain Lion Victim - Found while running in mtns

Found the remains of a deer near one of the paths I frequent.

I have been seeing Mountain Lions tracks for over a year now. Saw a Mountian Lion in Hansen Dam, and now this.

This video is me filming along an unexplored deer path that takes me to the bones of a deer.

It was quite erie. I was out of breath from running and then to find this, well it was amazing.

I brought the antlers home. They represent the freedom of a life lived and ended without corporations or governments.

Definately a coyote kill. A cougar would have left the bones in one place and fed off of it.

[barefootted]

Firstly, let it be known that a large mountain lion is known to exist where this kill was found. Tracks of this animal seen frequently by many and reports of him getting pets, especially pygmy goats.

Suddenly, from a world away, we have experts of local wildlife. That is called hubris.

Now, the kill I found would have happened there, exactly where it is found.

The bones and leftovers could have been scattered by the local large coyote population.

Take your tin foil hat off, asshole.

Those of you that don't think coyotes take down deer read too many magazines and don't get outdoors much. They make a living by opportunity and I've seen it first hand. And yes wolves do prey on deer...last month in the sage three wolves took down a doe along the fenceline of I84 with many folks watching it. You have no idea what that deer died of. He could have died from human or animal wounds and finished off by magpies, dermistid beetles, bald faced wasps, and ravens. sure there is doubt

"Found the remains of a deer near....."

That's just it, isn't it ? You "found" bones of a good sized Buck, however that does not prove that it was killed by a Lion, even tho' it may have shown up to eat its fill, etc.

You seem not without "Hubris". yourself ?

A cougar leaves a huge bed of hair behind from their kill because they pluck the hair before they eat, also you will rairly find more than hair left because a they eat most of the bones aswell.

The bones are too white for it to have been a recent kill. There is also no cartilage or tendons remaining which would leave the bones connected. This kill has to be a year old if not longer. It's too long a time to determine what killed it. If you live in an area with multiple predators, it could have been any one of them. If it was a mountain lion, good for it, for finding a deer and not going after a human child. Deer are it's preferred prey so I'm glad it was there for him.

@barefootted ya, but one simple fact that your dumb ass is missing is that coyotes wont touch a mt lion kill JACK!!!

[hunterfishman1]

@gmoneykiley7 thank you!

these idiots are flat footed city slickers who couldnt tell their ass from their elbow!

let alone a mt lion or coyote kill.

[hunterfishman1]

@canadiandrummer54 WOW, you canadians realy are as dumb as you look, thanks for the proof!

[hunterfishman1]

@posiden125

I have had more mt lion encounters than most people & i've never needed a gun,2 of 7 times I was armed, once with a bow & the other time a rifle but they fear man & run from me every time! for someone who dedicates his life spending 2 days a week in the woods studying all wildlife, I sure know a heck of alot about this stuff since I see it on a weekly basis. ive seen 100's of lion & coyote kills, a hunter may have shot it but I'm 100% certain that coyotes ate it!

[matanuskatundra2]

@hunterfishman1 yep youre right cougars are known to bury their kills

and they only eat only eat about 70% of the kill leaving the carcass for

other animals and insects.
