Up in NE Washington

Not exactly 'released'... he was already living there and doing his thing. He probably eats mostly elk. I suspect this lion has killed wolves, other lions, and coyotes effectively for half a decade. If you want more deer, a lion like this is helpful. He probably kills more lions in a year than most hunters will in their lifetime.

He is extraordinary. I'm glad he was a gentleman...the dogs wouldn't stand a chance against a cat like this.

Im guessing he would rather hunters who killed it be in the photo? Which were my thoughts as well, then I read WAcoyotehunter’s response, maybe he’s better alive?

Kertson is a very capable bio.

Also, a top male like that does indeed kill a lot of dispersing juvenile male cougars!
