High Plains Outdoors: A Mountain Lion In Our Midst

Everyone loves a good hunting tale. 

In today's show, Luke relates a hair-raising encounter with a full-grown male mountain lion.

Luke says the details of the event are as vivid in his mind today as when they happened. Everyone worries about bear in mountain country, and rightfully so, but a full-grown mountain lion presents much more of a problem, at least to Luke's way of thinking!
