I am a Native American hunter, but no trophy hunter. I was hunting once and I had recently shot a moose near a mountain range and I heard something dash behind me. When I spun around it was a curious mountain lion. She probably had smelt the fresh scent of blood from the moose. She watched me skin, cut, and separate the moose for 2 hours. I was always looking at her just to make sure I wasn't going to get pounced on by her. After I had finished gutting the moose I packed up the meat and my tools and I left behind 2 legs of the moose for her to thank her for not killing me. I still see her every now and then, and I even named her in my Native tongue.

It's a sport. How else to control the population? Mountain lions are not endangered; in some places in fact they're too numerous and pose a danger to herds, pets, and small children. Too many of them and they'll die excruciating deaths from starvation or freezing or disease. Today their numbers are protected and managed; when populations rise too high, hunters are allowed to pay for the privilege of hunting them. This is a scientific process determined by wildlife biologists. If you have a better way to manage it, please do share.

​@@thewildcardperson Poachers are trash, however they're also not very common. The Division of Fish and Game DO NOT give out tags in a way that if all tags are filled, and a few more animals are killed in addition, it will hurt the population. There is a buffer in the harvest estimation for the season so that these unaccountable deaths won't hurt the population overall, and if the population drops more then expected for whatever reason, limits will be passed for next season to prevent it from dropping anymore. What makes someone a trophy hunter? Well it's the mindset of the hunter, who is hunting purely for the trophy and the meat is an afterthought. I don't believe this is the right way to go about hunting, however at the end of the day the outcome is the same, the meat will be harvested and won't go to waste, and the animal was still harvested with a legal tag so the population was not harmed, that means only difference is the mindset of the hunter. If the "trophy hunter" was to not to harvest the meat, and just take the head, that is poaching and is illegal. How the filmmaker knew whether or not the hunter was a "trophy hunter", I have no clue, and more likely then not it was said that way to vilify the hunter who happened to legally harvest the mountain lion the crew was filming.

Whilst in California, I spoke to someone who had shot three mountain lions over the previous month. I pointed out that that was illegal and more to the point immoral given the scarcity of them. His excuse was that they can eat the kilo equivalent of one deer per month. It is good that this is now an excuse used by only a small minority of people.

Endangered animals are almost always protected, and tags (a piece of paper saying you are legally allowed to kill a certain animal) aren’t given out for those animals. If you are ever caught poaching (hunting without a tag) you will get a $10,000 fine (might change based on the state), face jail time, and have any items (gun, truck, ammo, etc.) on you permanently confiscated.

Andres Terrazas I mean to be fair which is better a hunter paying to hunt an animal or that animal becoming a nuisance. When an animals population goes out of control the state or local government uses tax payer money to pay people to go hunt down these animals until their population is under control again. An example is California and mountain lions, you’re not allowed to hunt them so Californians tax money is being used to keep them under control. Where as a better situation could be you have hunters PAY to hunt them and the state makes money and saves money. Like many others in the comment section have said hunting helps with conservation efforts, hunters pay to hunt, they put their money where their mouth is. Unlike people who just like the idea of a mountain lion, until it kills their dog or runs off with their 4 year old.

IMO, trophy hunters are people who are scared of anything wild. So, to prove their "bravery and power" over these "beasts", they hunt them down from a distance using guns. Quite cowardly really.

That's certainly true. But it's true of hunters in general. I've had a lot of outdoor hobbies, unfortunately including hunting many years ago, and I can tell you that there's no more scared bunch of boys in the woods than hunters. It's really unfortunate the amount of misinformation the general public is subjected to about animals; much of it coming from hunters. But if hunters didn't exaggerate the wily nature of game animals and the ferocity and danger of predators, they'd be exposed for what they really are; cowards. I track cougars every chance I get and have caught many on trail cameras, and even one using my DSLR in daylight, and when a hunter hears what I do for fun, they act like I'm insane. Fear comes from ignorance, and hunters demonstrate that with nearly every conversation they have regarding wildlife.

#RIPMyManFirecracker

My sister has a small fountain outside her house in Southern California. Sometimes at night a mountain lion comes with her babies to drink from the fountain. Then she lays on the wall and watches as the baby lions play with the kids balls left outside. If the Mother lion spots my sister watching from a window, she just stares but doesn't stop the babies from playing.

My cat and I watched this and we were both caught up in it as though it were really happening in front of us and not on a screen. I was crying out for the lions and sad to hear two didn't make it. This is my guilty soap opera.

I honestly cried when they said he was gunned down, I have seen so many smiling faces in pictures with a mountain lion...and I hate it, I hate it so much- I saw a picture of a mountain lion and there was a person's foot in the picture...and it was dead...it was less than 1 year old...you could faintly see the spots...it had attacked a young boy- I cried to that picture, the parents should've known better, leaving their child unsupervised- even if it was just in their backyard- There are animals that will hunt is- We are not what this world revolves around and we cant seem to understand it, this world was NOT Made for us... This world was never made for us...and yet we think it is- we think we own it...and I just dont understand how we dont see that... Anyway I'm sorry for that rant- I had to get it out...

This was educational and beautiful. Thank you

How adorable such gentle mothers that these cats are the same with african lions they may be vicious predators but they are just as loving!

I cried :'(

I'm crying :(

so many great lesson I got from this Mountain Lion family.

The thumbnail to this video as ADORABLE!!!

We need to do a lot more to protect these amazing creatures so we don't lose them to trophy hunters!

Amazing vid!!! Trophy hunting should be banned

Why? Trophy hunting helps keep murderers at bay. Would you prefer more serial killers and mass shootings to exist? Hunting, for meat or trophy helps satisfy the desires of thousands...desires that would turn to fellow species if banned.

+David W I think your thinking is flawed. We can’t accept trophy hunting just because it could possibly prevent murderers from murdering human beings. What happens when the trophy hunters kill off all the animals they like to hunt then? It’s no solution at all.

Alyssandra Wu I'm all for extermination of psychopaths, but that's not likely to happen. Thus, keeping their attention elsewhere is the best solution we have and the one currently legal in the U.S. That being said, I fully support rounding them up and euthanizing them. They're a disease on our society, only bringing good people harm. We're objectively better off without psychopaths among us.

+David W The solution your giving is like trying to put a bandaid on gashed stomach. Also, where are your statistics proving trophy hunters will turn to murdering people if laws against poaching and hunting were tightened in countries and places where hunting is still legal? And say if what you say is true, and trophy hunting directly links to human murder in its absence. Then we should just put all the trophy hunters onto death row or in jail immediately is what you're implying.

They often will instinctually, the mother may be to much of a hassle for him (good mama) or in this unique case, he sired these cups and it’s his offspring, I’m not sure 100% how but he knows.

Amazing how they can survive those cold winters, right?

Why would anyone want to hurt something so beautiful?

Trophy hunters you should be charged with a crime killing these beautiful animals.

As a big cat lover and animal lover in general, i adore Mountain Lions and have spent the past forty or so minutes arguing with trophy hunters who kill them for sport about it. I, using logic and actual fact, seem to be winning.

Me too! I'm a big cat advocate and I do believe that trophy hunting is going DOWN. It's so refreshing to see.

Very insightful and informative...

Now that was an awesome video .THANK you

Is there something I can do to participate in such activities of observing and conserving whilst holding a regular job? I have a degree in anthropology of that helps.

Mega Crash The Hedgehog trophy hunters are not the reason they are endangered (according to the national wildlife federation they are not even endangered yet, they are just “threatened”). The US closely monitors how many people are legally allowed to kill cougars each year to keep their population up. They also charge people a lot of money for the “privilege” to hunt a mountain lion, which is then used in conservation, stopping poachers, etc. as much as most people may hate trophy hunters, you can’t really blame them for a species becoming endangered.

It does to me too, and what if it gets tight or too loose and hangs up on something, as their weight probably fluctuates?
