Hunting is Hunting, no dogs, no bait, Just the hunter and the hunted. I had a guy that was talking about stalking versus blind and stand hunting. He used an iron sight only rifle. "If I can't hit an animal, whether it be prey or predator, at more than 300 yards with my weapon; I revert to the classic hunting method. I Stalk!
That's how big cats do when they attack they go for the neck to kill their prey. Bears are much worse they'll just slap you to the ground and start eating you without bothering to kill you first.
😂 you won't have to " play dead" if it attacks you 😂😂 you will be dead because no average every day citizen would know what to do in that situation other than panic and the lion would take advantage of that every single time ... it's a 90% chance you die if you get attacked by any type of lion lmao
I am kind of oddly amused by any side that uses logic so they think to frame THEIR argument, but ignores all other logic. If we're for "choice" as we liberals say, and abortion is the woman's right, her body so it's her choice to do with a beating heart inside her as she wishes, and I am not anti abortion, but it IS a beating heart no matter how we frame it. Now there are some hardcore liberals who believe that even IF a baby is born, full-term, they can "pith" it (sever the spinal cord to kill it like we do frogs or other animals in labs) and the choice is theirs - one California politician said it shouldn't be a baby until it reaches the front porch.....no I am not like that at all.....but why do we deny hunters THEIR freedom of choice? I don't hunt. Don't own a gun. But why can't, if we're truly liberal minded, allow them THEIR choice. Something stops beating in both cases
So asains eating cats and such is bad but Australians eat anything they can get their hands on come on now people. Why can’t we all just understand eachother here

I was stalked for miles by a mountain lion, was biking to a lake to go fishing. This basterd was following me for ages looking for an opportunity to attack. I still caught 4 rainbow trouts.
That’s exactly the kind of behavior I would expect from a top predator known for stalking its prey. As far as the mountain lion was concerned, YOU were the one trespassing on its territory. I don’t see how it stalking you makes IT the bastard here. 🤣

I’m in California, living right outside of the Bay Area and surprisingly the deer and mountain lion population is very high. Late November we found a deer carcass with the neck broken which is a sign of a mountain lion kill. Later that night my dad woke me up at 2:00am and and took me outside and we saw a massive mountain lion munchin, I live 10 minutes from Stanford so it was an insanely rare sighting right outside our house.
I lived in a rural part of San Diego county and once when I was a kid I saw a mountain lion walking down my driveway. A few weeks later I am playing in the stream and my friends and I spot it again so we book it home and my dad did not believe me. so finally my dad is riding a dirt bike through the field and he sees the thing with a baby mountain lion. Turns out it had a den in the stream next to my house there were two of them that had apparently been there for years and we just never saw them until that one summer.
@@blueballs1123 like a year later my dad befriended an elderly couple that lived down the road next to said stream and he told them the story. The old lady goes oh yeah they have been there for years and then points out where there den is, and then goes on to explain that they never bother anyone much she does not think they ever kill anyones pets so we just leave them be and try avoid going down there to be on the safe side.
We had lived there for several years before and my parents only moved out of there last year. those were the only two times i ever saw them. that was over 10 years ago. my dad has seen them once or twice sense but i never did. Just before he moved last year he actually he spotted a juvenile one running up the hill near the stream. I am not sure how long they live, so I don't know if it is the same lion who has has had more litters or if another female moved in and had cubs, but they are still there as of last year.

I grew up in a small town (15,000 people) in Southern California, and I remember in school they taught us about rattlesnakes, scorpions, cougars, sharks, etc and also what to do in case of an earthquake or a tsunami. But after I moved up to the PNW, I asked my friends who grew up there if they taught them anything similar, and nope. Not even what to do if one of the volcanoes erupts (Mt St Helens, Mount Hood, etc). So strange and shortsighted

I hunted elk every year in Colorado from the ages of 13-19.. It's was kinda unsettling hunting alone, knowing that there were bear and mountain lion around. I came across their tracks in the snow and mud. Never saw either of them though.
Had an encounter with a mnt lion in upstate ny about 15 yrs ago. It had my dad, brother and me shaken while hunting. We saw it move thru the woods without making a sound, it was a stark realization that your not the top of the actual food chain.
I was out with my dogs and was giving them a water break while doing this I seen a couple whitetails about 30-50th yards away out of the corner of my eye I saw a brown mass I couldn't see the front or the back as it was between two trees I assumed it was another deer but this was only 10 feet away as it moved I saw the back and this long thick tail a full grown mountain lion got that close to me and I heard nothing. I popped off a few rounds it ran into the denser part and just disappeared like poof. It was about a mile back to my car when we were close I heard it in the woods right by the parking area it followed us all the way back and I only heard and seen it then but it was like he/she wanted me to see it then. Like saying I'm the top predator here don't come back was creepy as f***.
I live in Dallas, never saw a snake here ever. Day before yesterday a western diamondback almost got me in the shin. I will hear that rattler in my nightmares
I grew up in the mountains in Colorado, with 100s of acres of trails all around the property and have only seen a mountain lion twice in 18 years. Once in the car, one popped out in front of us and continued to run up the center of the windy mountain road, and the second for a split second while hiking the trail near my house.
In my entire 30 years of life in Oregon between camping and hunting I have only ever seen one male lion in the woods for all of about 2 seconds. Scared the shit out of me. This guys really cool too!
My friend's favorite taco shop was in Mexico and he found a cat's claw in one. He didn't know cats could taste so good. A year later he was hunting in Arizona (his home state) and saw a bobcat, so he shot it to make tacos. He had to throw it away, even the pan, because it smelled so bad.
I went fishing in a town called Ravia, Oklahoma. My brother took me to this pond out there that had a good striped bass population. He told me he saw a mountain lion about a month earlier but I had lived in the area and never saw one. He starts fishing on one side but I want to go to the wooded side of the pond and try from that end. As I’m walking to the pond I see feral pig tracks all along the bank. I throw my lure out because that’s really not uncommon. But as I’m reeling it in I hear a woman scream behind me. I turn around and there’s no woman around but I know the sound a cougar makes. I also don’t see a cougar but it can see me and it didn’t want me on that side of the pond. So I take my rod and hurry back to the other side of the pond free of trees. Caught about 4 bass all about 3-4 lbs a piece all the while a cougar was most likely eyeballing us from the other side of the pond. It’s also funny to note that Ravia’s school mascot is a Cougar
ive been stalked a couple times. thankfully the last time it happened i had my dog with me. it was late at night and i was taking him outside for a quick walk and i kept hearing grass shuffel and at first i thought it was a deer. but my dog kept acting super sketchy and every time the grass would crack or whatever i kept looking in that direction but never saw any deer. made it back home and have been kind of creeped out since then. we do have lions very close by and they have even been in my neighborhood before a few times. even though i never saw the thing im almost certain it was a cat. they have a certain "presence" thats for sure.
I hear dozens of stories about Mountain Lions in PA, specifically in my area (south central PA). Game commission claims that there are none though. It's just weird that with such a big population of hunters that no one ever captures one on a game cam.
I lived for two and a half years in Trabuco Canyon area of Orange County California. The wildlife rangers (county, state, federal) would always warn me of Mountain Lions in the area etc. I knew they were there, because I showed them the tracks near my cabin. Their spoor/feces etc were within 5 meters to 30 meters of my cabin. The whole two years, I never saw one. A year after I moved back to San Diego county, the one suspected that lived in my area, killed a mountain biker named Mark Reynolds. He allegedly was stooped over to fix his bike chain and the cat got him. Mauled him good. Allegedly ate Mark's heart. That same day, the lion attacked a female mountain biker and was fought off by the woman and her riding companion.
Someone commented why I lived in such a rural area and deleted their comment, funny. Well, I grew up in the city (LA area medium size city). I served 24 years in the Army and a couple years, I was in recuperation from wounds I suffered on duty, and stayed at a cabin in Trabuco, before I went back and eventually retired. I like the solitude, not seeing anyone for days. That's it, I don't live in the wilderness anymore but I love it there. What I don't love is, standing in line at a Coffee Bean, for a treat and hearing someone bitch and moan about their coffee... "It don't mean nuthin." as we used to say in the Army.
Ive been lucky to get a good view of one on 2 occasions in the past 7 years living in Evergreen Colorado. One was in the middle of the road and darted off as soon as my headlights hit it and the other walked through my back yard as I stared at it at 5 am for about 5 minutes. Gave me a nice little show.
I lived in a subdivision in Northern California where it was illegal to hunt so the deer population was pretty high. I had many encounters with lions. They are definitely not endangered and there are lots of them in California. The sheep farmers have trouble with lions killing anywhere from 5 to 20 sheep in one night.
@@jillthompson1248 I do know that they had a government paid, hunter/trapper kill the lions, (periodically,) usually with dogs chasing the lion up a tree to make shooting safer and easier. I never got to taste the dead lion meat, however, though I've heard it's quite good with a healthy lion.
I live in SF Bay and I decided to go check out this place called Horseshoe Lake right off of highway 35 one weekday morning while everyone was out at work. I was in awe at the beauty of the place but I was worried about stepping on rattlensake so I was always watching my step. As I was walking around the lake, I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard a very loud roar in the distance and I felt that very primal fear you feel in your blood and I thought for a moment about whether or not I should turn around or keep going and then something big ran through the forest next to me and I turned around. I would have gone home but I did make the drive all the way there so I kept exploring an area in the opposite direction but I was on edge about a mountain lion the whole time. In hindsight, it was probably a bobcat that roared and a deer that ran by me but in that moment I wasn't sticking around to find out
People may not believe it but despite there being hardly any mountainous areas in texas, mountain lions are very much in texas (we call them cougars) . I live in the middle of a dense forest,and i have seen them on more than a few occasions. They are the most majestic yet utterly terrifying creatures I've ever laid eyes on.
Got a few in central illinois and we are flat as hell Fish and game always say there aren’t any until a couple hunters bring one in But there are some around not many but some
Deer a day my ass. They’ve done loads of studies and they all say cougars kill a deer every 7-10 days if that’s their main diet. Individual cats have different preferences. Some love to eat coyotes, javelinas, deer, elk, some might focus in on rabbits. They do cause dips in the prey numbers but not crazy high dips if they’re managed right
Lived in Fairbanks Alaska for 2 years and was lucky enough to see a Lynx 1 time, north of town up in the White Mountains. Most Alaskans I talked to never had seen one, or had maybe seen 1 their whole lives.
Been chasing down mountain lions and eating them for years. One of the best wild meats to consume. And ps whoever frowns upon hunting them with dogs has absolutely zero knowledge of hunting history. They have been hunted with teams of dogs for hundreds of years and training a team is a serious and extremely involved undertaking. This is the safest and almost the only way to keep the numbers of mountain lion manageable with goes hand in hand with conservation of all game in the area. Love from northwestern BC Canada !
@@rishith1935 nope. You have no fucking clue what you are talking about it’s so obvious. The whole point of hunting license is to record what you kill so conservationists know how many there are. so the limit on how many you are able to kill every season. It goes up or down depending on what is needed to keep the food chain at the right place for all animals. Too many mountain lions? Not many deer? The bag limit goes up for lions and down for deer. Vice versa. Keep your mouth shut.
I've seen proof that there is a mountain lion living in the area of my work, but noone living or working in the area has ever seen the cat itself. Some day's I feel like it's just watching me, laughing because it know's I don't know it's there.
JaxBlade “rough and gamey” is how those who do not Harvest their own animals describe meat taken from the wild. My mom used to make sphaghetti with meat sauce. From time to time she’d add venison. People ate that shit up. Me or my brother would tell them it was deer meat and immediately their demeanor would change and the first remark was ALWAYS, “it WAS a little gamey.” Ignorant fools. [Edit: Trigger Warning ⚠️ Joke attempt incoming] My other favorite thing to do is feed vegans meat and tell them it’s tofu or made of soy. I never tell any of them. Just let them think I’m that much better at preparing vegan food than any they’ve ever or will ever taste. I have a few vegans friends and all but one claims I’m their favorite. I’ve never made a vegan in my life. When they ask, “is this vegan?” I say suuuuure!!!! They say, “really this is made from tofu?” I tell them I don’t know any other way. I will make you all eat my meat!!!!
Spent most of my life working on a ranch in Florida and I've only seen one panther in my life time. Only reason I saw him was because he was chasing a deer.
I had an incident while night hunting raccoon. We found fresh mountain lion tracks in the mud near a river. Raccoon hounds are trained to hunt only raccoons so they were nervous about the big cat. While looking around later we found a mountain lion track on top of one of our foot prints... We were being tracked and followed, in a heavily wooded area on a dark overcast night.... Scary AF! We made a lot of noise, fired a pistol a few times, and headed for the truck. We never saw the mountain lion. But when you realize that something is looking at you and thinking about you as food.... it’s time to get away. I was hunter who became the hunted.
I’ve seen only one mountain lion in the wild in my life. A momma guarding a little cave. It was easily 500 yards/meters away and I still don’t know how I didn’t shit my pants when it saw us.
Yeah, I live a few miles from a town of 10,000 people and about 20-30 miles from Salem Oregon, and I have never seen a cougar. However I have seen cougars on trail cameras all around where I live, one of my relatives got 4 cougars on one trail cam picture, it was insane, we think it was a mom and her 3 Cubs , they are yearlings we think.
I live in canada and when I was camping, i saw this sandstone with a hint of orange or red coloured cougar, and it looked over at my family on the path, and as fast as I saw it, it was gone, that thing was so quick and quiet, it was unbelievable
I was intrigued when you guys were saying a lion kills a deer EVERYDAY. I did a small amount of research and from what I've read it's more like a deer a week. Happy Hunting!
I live in one of the least populated counties in California. I've seen mountain lion on my property. I carry a hand gun everyday. I'm not excited to taste mountain lion, but will embrace the flavor if offered.
How difficult is it to train a dog to hunt??? I have ridgeback and 2 pits. I would never use a dog and mine are nice house pets who enjoys sun bathing at the dog park with other pals. My Male ridgeback and my cat will tag team it and eat and kill all the rabbits in my yard. Gotten a squirrel or two but 99% of the time it's because the squirrel fucked up and missed that final leap over my 8 ft wooden fence, falls and that's all she wrote. My 2 pits looks at my ridgeback Mike hes a psychopath hunting rabbits. Lolol. Those two will him attack a rabbit and they immediately just walk back in my house. They don't like death. I'm such a big animal lover that I couldn't act rational as if theres even only 1% or less of a chance that my dog could.get seriously hurt or even killed when they go to a actual hunt I could never train and teach my dog to hunt. I would be devastated dramatically. So a bow Nd/or rifle (highly prefer rifle due to very easy obviously) is plenty for me to deers, bears, and squirrels, I just try to avoid buying grocery meat and my dogs eat 100% raw so I am obsessed with making hunts more primal and difficult but my time is limited since I got school, work, dogs, responsibilities so a rifle to shoot and max out my tags for deer and bears for the season so I can just have plenty of meat for the year
mr. JDP P generally hunting dogs are trained from birth and need to be subjected to that lifestyle. Dogs with long snouts for a superior sense of smell are best, they need a good temperament aswell. Black mouth curs are an ideal breed. Pit bulls are not an ideal breed because they lack the smelling and laidback temperament to hunt although not impossible. You need the dog to lead you to the animal while being stealthy, any kind of aggression will alert the animal. Takes years of training
@@thomasaitken9790 O yea. I assumed all of that. P its see no hunting dogs lol What I don't know... how dangerous is it for the dogs. If hunting hogs, deer etc.
mr. JDP P yeah well generally you make sure to keep the dogs away from the animal, they are only used for tracking. So if the dog is trained properly, they will stay well away from the weapons or the animal your hunting. It’s up to the hunter to make sure the dog isn’t in any danger before firing
I stuck my arms into the water at a "sea animal" park and pressed two of the four buttons on my digital watch that plays the alarm sound and within seconds I felt a very strong pressure on my arm near my watch and a white dolphin came up out of the water with my arm in its mouth and looked at me and then let go. True story
Collecting sewer water samples, a week after a ski resort closed for the season, we were driving back to town. We rounded a turn and a huge male mountain lion jump over the guard rail in front of us, onto the road. It ran away down the road and jumped like 16 feet up side of the mountain and disappeared into the forest. That was one of like four sightings I've seen in my life.
@@fabiolito28 Nope! Wouldn't mind trying it though, carnivore or not. Although like hallmonitor98 said, something like a black bear eats more berries and plants than meat. Idk, if the carnivore meat thing is true maybe a black bear would taste better than, say, a grizzly.
As a butcher, I just can't seem to logically give in to the taste of mountain lion. They're are so llean and muscle as strong as cedarwood. If I had a choice, I'd take down an elk, deer etc, over a predator emphatically. You're having a laugh if you're to tell me you're hunting mountain lions for they're meat. It the the thrill of the hunt of such a dangerous, reclysive mammal

Not even what to do if one of the volcanoes erupts (Mt St Helens, Mount Hood, etc). So strange and shortsighted

I hunted elk every year in Colorado from the ages of 13-19.. It's was kinda unsettling hunting alone, knowing that there were bear and mountain lion around. I came across their tracks in the snow and mud. Never saw either of them though.
Had an encounter with a mnt lion in upstate ny about 15 yrs ago. It had my dad, brother and me shaken while hunting. We saw it move thru the woods without making a sound, it was a stark realization that your not the top of the actual food chain.

I was out with my dogs and was giving them a water break while doing this I seen a couple whitetails about 30-50th yards away out of the corner of my eye I saw a brown mass I couldn't see the front or the back as it was between two trees I assumed it was another deer but this was only 10 feet away as it moved I saw the back and this long thick tail a full grown mountain lion got that close to me and I heard nothing. I popped off a few rounds it ran into the denser part and just disappeared like poof. It was about a mile back to my car when we were close I heard it in the woods right by the parking area it followed us all the way back and I only heard and seen it then but it was like he/she wanted me to see it then. Like saying I'm the top predator here don't come back was creepy as f***.

I live in Colorado and used to live deep in the mountains and saw more mountain lions than I could

I grew up in the mountains in Colorado, with 100s of acres of trails all around the property and have only seen a mountain lion twice in 18 years. Once in the car, one popped out in front of us and continued to run up the center of the windy mountain road, and the second for a split second while hiking the trail near my house.
I live in Great Falls, Montana and we have had them wandering right along the edge of our town lately, we have had multiple sightings!
In my entire 30 years of life in Oregon between camping and hunting I have only ever seen one male lion in the woods for all of about 2 seconds. Scared the shit out of me. This guys really cool too!
My friend's favorite taco shop was in Mexico and he found a cat's claw in one. He didn't know cats could taste so good. A year later he was hunting in Arizona (his home state) and saw a bobcat, so he shot it to make tacos. He had to throw it away, even the pan, because it smelled so bad.
I went fishing in a town called Ravia, Oklahoma. My brother took me to this pond out there that had a good striped bass population. He told me he saw a mountain lion about a month earlier but I had lived in the area and never saw one. He starts fishing on one side but I want to go to the wooded side of the pond and try from that end. As I’m walking to the pond I see feral pig tracks all along the bank. I throw my lure out because that’s really not uncommon. But as I’m reeling it in I hear a woman scream behind me. I turn around and there’s no woman around but I know the sound a cougar makes. I also don’t see a cougar but it can see me and it didn’t want me on that side of the pond. So I take my rod and hurry back to the other side of the pond free of trees. Caught about 4 bass all about 3-4 lbs a piece all the while a cougar was most likely eyeballing us from the other side of the pond. It’s also funny to note that Ravia’s school mascot is a Cougar
I swear to God if i go in my fridge and there is zero mountain lion meant, imma REEEEEEEE
Why does he look like he just got back from hunting 😂🤔😎
ive been stalked a couple times. thankfully the last time it happened i had my dog with me. it was late at night and i was taking him outside for a quick walk and i kept hearing grass shuffel and at first i thought it was a deer. but my dog kept acting super sketchy and every time the grass would crack or whatever i kept looking in that direction but never saw any deer. made it back home and have been kind of creeped out since then. we do have lions very close by and they have even been in my neighborhood before a few times. even though i never saw the thing im almost certain it was a cat. they have a certain "presence" thats for sure.
Just moved to WV in july already seen a mountain lion 20 yards from my house .

I hear dozens of stories about Mountain Lions in PA, specifically in my area (south central PA). Game commission claims that there are none though. It's just weird that with such a big population of hunters that no one ever captures one on a game cam.
When you play RDR2
You don't find Mountain Lions, they find you...
I lived for two and a half years in Trabuco Canyon area of Orange County California. The wildlife rangers (county, state, federal) would always warn me of Mountain Lions in the area etc. I knew they were there, because I showed them the tracks near my cabin. Their spoor/feces etc were within 5 meters to 30 meters of my cabin. The whole two years, I never saw one. A year after I moved back to San Diego county, the one suspected that lived in my area, killed a mountain biker named Mark Reynolds. He allegedly was stooped over to fix his bike chain and the cat got him. Mauled him good. Allegedly ate Mark's heart.
That same day, the lion attacked a female mountain biker and was fought off by the woman and her riding companion.
On 2Wheels articles.latimes.com/2004/jan/10/local/me-lion10 I had to go find the story for that. Damn, that's crazy.
My sons neighbor was riding a bike along with another guy when he was eaten by a cougar early last summer. Something about riding bikes in the woods.
@@cole6409 Um, re read my comment, pay attention...
@@IzakLuna Yeh, it was. Poor Mark.
Someone commented why I lived in such a rural area and deleted their comment, funny. Well, I grew up in the city (LA area medium size city). I served 24 years in the Army and a couple years, I was in recuperation from wounds I suffered on duty, and stayed at a cabin in Trabuco, before I went back and eventually retired. I like the solitude, not seeing anyone for days. That's it, I don't live in the wilderness anymore but I love it there.
What I don't love is, standing in line at a Coffee Bean, for a treat and hearing someone bitch and moan about their coffee... "It don't mean nuthin." as we used to say in the Army.
I love good Cat Chowmain. Need to try that mountain lion.
Ive been lucky to get a good view of one on 2 occasions in the past 7 years living in Evergreen Colorado. One was in the middle of the road and darted off as soon as my headlights hit it and the other walked through my back yard as I stared at it at 5 am for about 5 minutes. Gave me a nice little show.
Imagine grilling up organically fed free-range cat.
We are nature.
And our extinction will also be natural lol
Alex Robertson can’t wait for you to be one of the first.
Everything that exists is natural.
I lived in a subdivision in Northern California where it was illegal to hunt so the deer population was pretty high. I had many encounters with lions. They are definitely not endangered and there are lots of them in California. The sheep farmers have trouble with lions killing anywhere from 5 to 20 sheep in one night.
But they get paid for that loss by government same for losses by wolves bears ect
@@jillthompson1248 I do know that they had a government paid, hunter/trapper kill the lions, (periodically,) usually with dogs chasing the lion up a tree to make shooting safer and easier. I never got to taste the dead lion meat, however, though I've heard it's quite good with a healthy lion.
I live in SF Bay and I decided to go check out this place called Horseshoe Lake right off of highway 35 one weekday morning while everyone was out at work. I was in awe at the beauty of the place but I was worried about stepping on rattlensake so I was always watching my step. As I was walking around the lake, I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard a very loud roar in the distance and I felt that very primal fear you feel in your blood and I thought for a moment about whether or not I should turn around or keep going and then something big ran through the forest next to me and I turned around. I would have gone home but I did make the drive all the way there so I kept exploring an area in the opposite direction but I was on edge about a mountain lion the whole time. In hindsight, it was probably a bobcat that roared and a deer that ran by me but in that moment I wasn't sticking around to find out
When I first looked at Mr. Greentree I thought he was Jared Keeso 😂😂

People may not believe it but despite there being hardly any mountainous areas in texas, mountain lions are very much in texas (we call them cougars) . I live in the middle of a dense forest,and i have seen them on more than a few occasions. They are the most majestic yet utterly terrifying creatures I've ever laid eyes on.
Got a few in central illinois and we are flat as hell Fish and game always say there aren’t any until a couple hunters bring one in But there are some around not many but some
Saw one in Bunzen Lake Trail here in Vancouver BC, he was about 5 meters away from me. holy fuck that is a moment of my life.
Raised in Idaho...never saw a mountain lion. Two people were eating by them within 20 miles of our house.
Bet dey asses
My aunt lives in boulder she sees mountain lions on the weekly
Doubtful
Mountain lion was a native american favorite back in the day
Deer a day my ass. They’ve done loads of studies and they all say cougars kill a deer every 7-10 days if that’s their main diet. Individual cats have different preferences. Some love to eat coyotes, javelinas, deer, elk, some might focus in on rabbits. They do cause dips in the prey numbers but not crazy high dips if they’re managed right
Lived in Fairbanks Alaska for 2 years and was lucky enough to see a Lynx 1 time, north of town up in the White Mountains. Most Alaskans I talked to never had seen one, or had maybe seen 1 their whole lives.
Been chasing down mountain lions and eating them for years. One of the best wild meats to consume. And ps whoever frowns upon hunting them with dogs has absolutely zero knowledge of hunting history. They have been hunted with teams of dogs for hundreds of years and training a team is a serious and extremely involved undertaking. This is the safest and almost the only way to keep the numbers of mountain lion manageable with goes hand in hand with conservation of all game in the area. Love from northwestern BC Canada !
agreeing that it was done in the past and whether we should are different things
I live in oregon and I see mt lions every few months, and coyotes daily, and now a wolf was spotted 10 miles north of my place. Shits awesome.
All of those things should be executed and then eaten
What part of Oregon?
Southern Oregon?
I live in a small town in nebraska and a few years ago there was a mountain lion just chilling in a tree at the city park about 10 miles away from me.
I interpreted the title as, mountain lion tastes like Joe Rogan and Adam Greentree. 😂😂

Hunters do heaps for conservation.
In Canada 90% of the money the conservation gets comes from hunters
By driving animals into extinction?
Hunters are all cowards.
@@Wolves_Wanderer shut it dumbass
@@rishith1935 nope. You have no fucking clue what you are talking about it’s so obvious. The whole point of hunting license is to record what you kill so conservationists know how many there are. so the limit on how many you are able to kill every season. It goes up or down depending on what is needed to keep the food chain at the right place for all animals. Too many mountain lions? Not many deer? The bag limit goes up for lions and down for deer. Vice versa. Keep your mouth shut.
In over 35 years, Ran into 2 mountain lions in separate encounters while out fly fishing.
I've seen proof that there is a mountain lion living in the area of my work, but noone living or working in the area has ever seen the cat itself. Some day's I feel like it's just watching me, laughing because it know's I don't know it's there.
Listening to Joe Rogan and his hunting buddies talk about wildlife & predator ecology is like listening to Eddie Bravo talk about Astrophysics.
Thank you!!! So many stupid comments on this video.
Probably rough and gamey
JaxBlade “rough and gamey” is how those who do not Harvest their own animals describe meat taken from the wild. My mom used to make sphaghetti with meat sauce. From time to time she’d add venison. People ate that shit up. Me or my brother would tell them it was deer meat and immediately their demeanor would change and the first remark was ALWAYS, “it WAS a little gamey.” Ignorant fools. [Edit: Trigger Warning ⚠️ Joke attempt incoming] My other favorite thing to do is feed vegans meat and tell them it’s tofu or made of soy. I never tell any of them. Just let them think I’m that much better at preparing vegan food than any they’ve ever or will ever taste. I have a few vegans friends and all but one claims I’m their favorite. I’ve never made a vegan in my life. When they ask, “is this vegan?” I say suuuuure!!!! They say, “really this is made from tofu?” I tell them I don’t know any other way. I will make you all eat my meat!!!!
feeding vegans meat is pretty fucked up bro
Taste like smoked salmon
For real in my opinion anyways
As long as you know it's not for health reasons, that's honestly kinda funny
“speaking of chicken what does that mountain lion taste like”
I've seen 4 hounds make a black bear run for it's life it's amazing how animals as big as a bear is scared of even 1 of them
I live in MT prime mtn lion country and I’ve never seen one, plenty of evidence, but never seen an actual cat.
That's scary. They do all the "seeing"
Lion meat is probably amazing
I am you
It tastes like chicken with a lil bit of sour taste, it’s bomb.
Spent most of my life working on a ranch in Florida and I've only seen one panther in my life time. Only reason I saw him was because he was chasing a deer.
I had an incident while night hunting raccoon.
We found fresh mountain lion tracks in the mud near a river. Raccoon hounds are trained to hunt only raccoons so they were nervous about the big cat.
While looking around later we found a mountain lion track on top of one of our foot prints...
We were being tracked and followed, in a heavily wooded area on a dark overcast night....
Scary AF!
We made a lot of noise, fired a pistol a few times, and headed for the truck.
We never saw the mountain lion.
But when you realize that something is looking at you and thinking about you as food.... it’s time to get away.
I was hunter who became the hunted.
Do most Australians look like Hugh Jackman
every single one of us
I’ve seen only one mountain lion in the wild in my life. A momma guarding a little cave. It was easily 500 yards/meters away and I still don’t know how I didn’t shit my pants when it saw us.
Yeah, I live a few miles from a town of 10,000 people and about 20-30 miles from Salem Oregon, and I have never seen a cougar. However I have seen cougars on trail cameras all around where I live, one of my relatives got 4 cougars on one trail cam picture, it was insane, we think it was a mom and her 3 Cubs , they are yearlings we think.

Bobcats the same way down here. I hunted 30 years and never seen a bobcat till this year and it was actually stalking us. It's now a rug on the wall 😂

I live in canada and when I was camping, i saw this sandstone with a hint of orange or red coloured cougar, and it looked over at my family on the path, and as fast as I saw it, it was gone, that thing was so quick and quiet, it was unbelievable
I was intrigued when you guys were saying a lion kills a deer EVERYDAY. I did a small amount of research and from what I've read it's more like a deer a week. Happy Hunting!

Its more about the love between the hunter and his or her dog or dogs that makes it a special trip
How difficult is it to train a dog to hunt??? I have ridgeback and 2 pits. I would never use a dog and mine are nice house pets who enjoys sun bathing at the dog park with other pals.
My Male ridgeback and my cat will tag team it and eat and kill all the rabbits in my yard. Gotten a squirrel or two but 99% of the time it's because the squirrel fucked up and missed that final leap over my 8 ft wooden fence, falls and that's all she wrote.
My 2 pits looks at my ridgeback Mike hes a psychopath hunting rabbits. Lolol. Those two will him attack a rabbit and they immediately just walk back in my house. They don't like death.
I'm such a big animal lover that I couldn't act rational as if theres even only 1% or less of a chance that my dog could.get seriously hurt or even killed when they go to a actual hunt I could never train and teach my dog to hunt. I would be devastated dramatically.
So a bow Nd/or rifle (highly prefer rifle due to very easy obviously) is plenty for me to deers, bears, and squirrels, I just try to avoid buying grocery meat and my dogs eat 100% raw so I am obsessed with making hunts more primal and difficult but my time is limited since I got school, work, dogs, responsibilities so a rifle to shoot and max out my tags for deer and bears for the season so I can just have plenty of meat for the year
mr. JDP P generally hunting dogs are trained from birth and need to be subjected to that lifestyle. Dogs with long snouts for a superior sense of smell are best, they need a good temperament aswell. Black mouth curs are an ideal breed. Pit bulls are not an ideal breed because they lack the smelling and laidback temperament to hunt although not impossible. You need the dog to lead you to the animal while being stealthy, any kind of aggression will alert the animal. Takes years of training
@@thomasaitken9790
O yea. I assumed all of that. P
its see no hunting dogs lol
What I don't know... how dangerous is it for the dogs. If hunting hogs, deer etc.
mr. JDP P yeah well generally you make sure to keep the dogs away from the animal, they are only used for tracking. So if the dog is trained properly, they will stay well away from the weapons or the animal your hunting. It’s up to the hunter to make sure the dog isn’t in any danger before firing
@@thomasaitken9790 yea I get it.
I understand how it works. Wish I had the time and money to get a proper, well trained and behaved well with others
I stuck my arms into the water at a "sea animal" park and pressed two of the four buttons on my digital watch that plays the alarm sound and within seconds I felt a very strong pressure on my arm near my watch and a white dolphin came up out of the water with my arm in its mouth and looked at me and then let go. True story
Collecting sewer water samples, a week after a ski resort closed for the season, we were driving back to town. We rounded a turn and a huge male mountain lion jump over the guard rail in front of us, onto the road. It ran away down the road and jumped like 16 feet up side of the mountain and disappeared into the forest. That was one of like four sightings I've seen in my life.

As a butcher, I just can't seem to logically give in to the taste of mountain lion. They're are so llean and muscle as strong as cedarwood.
If I had a choice, I'd take down an elk, deer etc, over a predator emphatically.
