Mountain Lion Preseason Scouting – Young Cougar (video)
Using the off season to locate mountain lions is critical to calling them in the fall.
I have already covered this topic in an earlier blog post http://www.wildlifecallers.com/blog/2009/08/19/ but wanted to share this video of a young mountain lion we captured on a trail camera. Finding actual sign (tracks) in the area was difficult due to the rocky wash bottom cutting through this canyon. However, using our knowledge from prior field research and interviews with lion hunters like Steve Craig and Jonathan Kibler, Dave and I knew that putting a camera in the area was a good idea. Excuse the quality level, this clip was taken on one of our trail cams, also, notice the skunk dive into the brush as the lion approaches.
This is a fairly small lion and won’t make our ‘harvest list” for a couple more years. We will be calling in and around the area to try and get this lion called in and captured on film. If you want to call lions, you gotta know where they are.
One more place to try…
Best regards,
Mark Healy
