mtn lions/cougars usually need a deer sized critter about once to twice every 2 weeks. they are just big katz, hence they are finicky eaters. they will eat when hungry and then bury the rest. when hungry again they will go back to the kill site and then feed again, until gone and then go after fresh prey.


the kill site is usually where hunter/tree hugger/ nature lovers come into contact and they WILL contest the kill!



now if ya had lil dawggies with you , they would split as soon as hearing the lil dawggies a distance off yelping barking. because theyz katz and theyz hate lil dawwgies. and lil dawggies unleashed, will take the scent and chase them up a tree. becuz their katz and they like trees.


when you come upon a mtn lion kill it will be completely buried in brush and some dirt or whatever grasses that are endemic to the area.


when you find one, you better be smart about things, because they dont go far from a kill site and you just may have a world of hurt coming your way BIG TIME!


out in the junipers south of the grande canon(grand canyon) they nail the hell out of elk. and its a real obvious smell, and when close a real obvious pile of brush/dirt/grasses with the ensuent crows/mag pies/ravens/vultures generally circling an area with a fresh kill. the birds will 1st nail the soft tissue. ie. the eyes and the lips and the ears, then they go for whatever else is easy pickings.



when you find one of these, and any hunter worth his salt will go after a scent like this, because there is ALWAYS action around a kill site, as mentioned the 1st thing you will see are the crows/ravens/vultures circling. (JUS LAK DA MOVIES), and this is when ya want a buddy to watch yer 6 oclock. and this ISNT A JOKE!



same goes for GUT PILES.....................ALWAYS ACTION around them for a few days after your hunt after you have gutted/skinned/1/4'd yer tagged species.



katz very very seldom go after road kill . they want fresh meat period.



now excuse me why i go and continue my sons brand new springfield M1-A "loaded" stainless barrel, evil black synthetic stock build/transformation, which will be used just for such a chance encounter with a mtn kitty! and lord knows these fine(?) katz dont want to be shot with a simple out of the box HO-HUM accurate, boring M1-A. they would much rather be shot with USGI match grade parts/sadlak parts/and springfield super duper match parts fitted M1-A! LOL!
