I know lions are some efficient killers, but this is really impressive. Walked up on this yesterday "at the office"! Incredible! I read that mountain lions have by far the highest success hunting of any of the large cats at an astounding 80%! This one still had its work cut out for it! I'm guessing this old bruiser was probably not at 100% but I bet he still put up a good fight. There were cougar tracks everywhere along with some very small ones so I think it must have been an old momma feeding her kittens.

Yes lions sure are neat. Amazes me that. 100 pound female can kill a 800 pound elk! Badass predators that is forsure

Sure it's a cool find and there hunting ability is amazing but how long after you walked up to it did you ask yourself where's the cat? I go into let's get the h%$$ out of here mode every time I walk up on a carcass.

They won't mess with you. I'm sure the cat knows your there but it won't bother you. Put a trail cam up on it and get some pics

Agreed Ermine, cpw has some cams up already so I didn't want to disturb it much by setting up my own. I can get them to send us a few though
