Central Alberta Cougar Family
Its been a while since I have put any videos online but I figured with what I have gotten in the last week, they are worthy of a post. Now we have a family of cats that have moved in to the area. Mother and three kittens. Don't look at the dates on the cameras as they are mostly wrong and don't keep the date anymore, Thousands of videos and pictures. The timeline is the end of November, 2021. This would be or should I say is detrimental to the deer population in the area as they would eat a massive amount of meat. As we see, not a lot of deer left, and will probably move on to the elk herds. Be safe in nature, bears are asleep but there are others that aren't!!!

Another set of videos off of three cameras. It seems that it likes to cover a very good portion of the half section in one evening, It is amazing , the amount of videos that a person has got in the last couple years. With the numbers taken in season and all, there must be a lot of cats.

Three of the Bull Elk with the herd that moved through. There have been sightings of cougars in the area, with also some livestock being taken, so probably a reason why they have moved away for a while. It has been close to 3 weeks since they were last on the cameras.

It is that time of the year again, when the Big game of North America go through the cycle of producing next years offspring, which is called The Rutt. The males fight for dominance and breeding rights so that their genes carry on in the herd. I have been taking pictures and used trail cams for years and you can see the different bulls of the past in how the ones there now have grown their antl...

Nature is Cruel.Two Ravens Picking on a Great Horned Owl
Переглядів 2503 роки тому
Not sure why. But two Ravens decide to pick on an Owl. Nature can be cruel sometimes, but there is always a higher plan. Nothing is wasted when you look at how things are consumed when they die. Providing life for those that remain, whether plant or animal. All living things are included in this the same. I hope that the owls flying skills saved it, but we will never know.

    I've had a face to face encounter with a mountain lion without a weapon. The expert's say make loud noises make yourself big from my experience it only made it mad. The only thing it respected was me walking towards it showing I wasn't a easy meal. They will test you and if you fail game over.

    When any animal licks his lips it's a bad sign. I don't know what the whole situation here is but I rode my electric scooter off road one day and as the trees were encroaching over me, I felt this funny feeling that something was watching me. I flipped a bitch and left. I don't enter where I'm not welcomed but people don't realize that nature parks are not being patrolled by regional police and they should not take chances with nature!

    I think he was just curious about you, especially if he doesn’t recognize you as food. What I would do is feed the cat a piece of meat or anything he can eat. This way he knows you have the food and not his food. Do you know what I mean. Just like Kevin Costner and Two Paws in that movie Dances With Wolves. The friendly curious Wolf at the soldiers fort whereby, John Dunbar befriends. It seems like the cat wants to be friendly. Attack? I don’t think so.

    Cougars are ambush predators and chances are if they want to attack you, you will never see it coming. Why does everyone assume the cat was going to attack? It looked curious to me, especially when it laid down. It is sad how many cougars are killed because of a collective hysteria that labels them blood hungry man killers when the numbers don’t show this to be fact. Very few humans have been killed by cougars. Maybe it’s time to think differently.

I don’t blame the man hunter for finally defending himself.. even though mountain Lions are my favorite animals I can tell he did not want to cause the cat hunter any harm. Both hunters from opposite worlds clashing upon crossing paths. Much respect!

    You are a better man than I . I would of shot it the first time it seriously looked at me , and crouched down in what was obviously a position to launch forward , especially at such a short distance . You gave her every chance possible . Sleep well brother , you have nothing to feel guilty about . I'm sure you feel sorry it came to that , but tell me , what could of happened if you didn't do what you did .

    • @theminister1154

      Better man? I don't think so. I think *the wise man puts whatever he's got into the cougar as soon as it stands off aggressively* like that. And man, that was a CHAD cougar too. Big fella. I'd feel bad about mag dumping him later, but not too bad. I've had a black bear do that before, but not as aggressively, and the back uP,, look big, avoid eye contact WHOA BEAR thing worked. Which is nice because I don't carry in black bear country.

    F that. You did the right thing. If they’re not afraid of human beings, they’ll probably attack some jogger out on the trail or something. If any animals showing that level of aggression and lack of fear, it is to be put down. Fortunately, this cat was found by someone with a weapon, good job

    Anyone who has had a cat knew in the first few minutes that this guy or these guys were in serious danger. Ive had housecats all my life and im sitting here cringing in the first few minutes as the cat sizes him up, sinks its head into an attack or pounce stance. That has to be one of the scariest things ive ever watched. If there were no weapons there....then that camera might still be out there on its tripod, battery dead, awaiting discovery. Because i lived with housecats all my life, i am deathly afraid of bigcats. Im glad this guy/guys made it out of there with their lives. Goossebumps!

    You lied to the cat. You said you weren't going to shoot . Pathetic. Could have tried several things instead of just sitting there yelling, how about throwing rocks or branches, how about using branches, or spraying a pepper spray deterrent like bear spray etc. Typical hunter, kill kill kill disgusting. 😊

    The only thing I would have done different is I'd have thrown a rock or stick at him, and done so early in the encounter (assuming I could). Cats are incredibly cautious, and any sign that the meal will fight back will usually make them think twice. I've even seen it with my domestic cats. They were raised as outdoor cats, and are great mousers, but every once in a while a feisty rat would fight back, usually after two or three bites, the cats would quit on it.
