Sure glad cougars are solitary animals.

According to some of the information that the "managers" put out cougars are considered a solitary animal and don't hunt in packs. This trail camera picture says otherwise.

How else would a mother cougar teach her cubs how to hunt? I don't think anyone has ever said females don't hunt with their cubs.

I had 3 come into a clearing during elk, all 3 were same size. Only 2 left. The one I got was a female, probably 110 pounds.

Cubs will stay with their mother for up to two years until she kicks them out. After that, the juveniles will often stay together for a bit. Adult Toms don't tolerate other Toms, females, or juveniles, unless the female is in heat. @bearpaw Maybe Dale will chime in.

Probably not the correct way but we stretched her after skinning and measured 7'7" nose to tail

Never heard anyone say a mother cougar kicks out her young the second they are born. Mom and kids traveling together is normal.
