Spencer Neuharth
Mar 29, 2022
Almost exactly one year ago, a video of a black bear and feral hog fighting to the death in Great Smoky Mountains National Park went viral. To no one’s surprise, the winner of that battle was the black bear. The ending of that video seemed like it was written by Nature Is Metal. This video has more...

Video: Wolf Pup Howls for First Time

May 20, 2021
We’ve given a lot of coverage lately to how destructive wolves are. From Idaho passing a bill that aims to knock back up to 90% of the state’s pack, to mountain lion populations in Wyoming dropping 48% thanks to unprecedented predation by wolves, to Wisconsin accidentally killing twice their wolf...

Mountain Lion: Misunderstood Quarry, Under-Appreciated Cuisine
E. Donnall Thomas Jr.
Dec 22, 2020
Some hunters might find it hard to believe that a saucer-shaped depression in a fresh layer of snow can arouse just as much excitement as the sudden appearance of a bugling bull elk—unless they were experienced mountain lion hunters.

Video: Jogger Stops Mountain Lion Attack with Bear Spray
Spencer Neuharth
Oct 5, 2020
This jogger proved bear spray isn’t just for bears. Donny Stone, an Alberta resident, was on a run in 2015 when he encountered two cougars on the trail.
