Photographing Mountain Lions in West Yellowstone Montana!

Embark upon the rare occasion of photographing a Mountain Lion in the Wild! For those that seek to tackle this task, you will spend hours upon hours just waiting patiently to see this elusive creature in your viewfinder....Only hoping to get close enough for a great picture. Most often when one does come upon a wild Mountain Lion, it is up a tree. When looking at a photograph in a magazine, calendar or article of Mountain Lions, if the cat is pictured in a tree, it's likely that it's wild. It is speculated that the best time of year to view wild Mountain Lions is during late Fall, when snow first starts sticking to the ground. After the storms they seem to move around and check things out. Also, with the snowy setting, it makes it that much easier to spot the Cougar and see his tracks. During the summer months this cat is extremely rare to see, let alone photograph. During the warm months they travel on deer trails, deep into the Mountains, making it that much more difficult to find them. One of the best ways to locate a wild Cougar is to watch the deer. If there are deer in the vicinity, there are cougars. It is definetly a rare and unique occasion to photograph a Mountain Lion in West Yellowstone or anywhere in the wild for that matter! If you've been one of the few to capture an image in the wild, you should feel very lucky! The possibilities are endless when Photographing a captive Mountain Lion. Our adult Male Cougar will run right at camera, jump across ledges/canyons, climb trees, stalk, and give stares that will curl your toes!
