Mountain Lion

Here's what to do during a mountain lion encounter in Wyoming.

Are you gearing up for Wyoming hunting season? Be sure to plan ahead and stay alert - you never know what you'll encounter in the wild! A recent video captures a rare moment of a mountain lion chasing and catching an elk calf.

Tuesday was an exciting day for police in Laramie after a mountain lion wandered into someone's backyard.

Big cats are dangerous when they are hungry

The Laramie County Sheriff's Office says it has received some reports of a mountain lion roaming around in the county northeast of Cheyenne.

Her five-year-old son is recovering from the attack.

It may have been a lesson, taught by the mama mountain lion for her three cubs, on how to slay a deer and to eat it clean. Very clean.

If you've never heard a mountain lion scream while camping and/or hunting in the wild, you're missing out. Wait. Maybe you're not. A Wyoming hunter shared blood-curdling cat screams he heard while hunting something else and the responses are hysterical.

A quick thinking dog owner in Estes Park saved his dog's life after it was attacked by a mountain lion in the early morning hours.

When you go hunting, you hope you'll run into a big buck. You also understand that seeing a mountain lion is a possibility. It's not common though to see both animals in a mortal battle which is what some Colorado hunters witnessed recently.
