Mountain Lion in Cave
Hunters and Ranchers are putting Mountain Lions in Trouble. . .

Our Wildlife doesn’t stand a change in the World today! I was made aware of the Mountain Lion Foundation, the need for having Mountain Lions (Cougars) is larger than you would think as “Hunters”, and “Ranchers” are able to kill any at will. Our West Wildlife Officials are caring for Cougars, Bear and Wolves by extermination of them. I am painting a Series of Mountain Lions, mostly watercolor and some in Graphite Pencil with Charcoal. 15% of proceeds will be donated to The Mountain Lion Foundation (www.mountainlion.org). I hope you will enjoy my artwork and help the “Our American Lions” to stand a chance in their habitat.

| 7/15/2010 | Idaho Wildlife on Clearance? Idaho – the state that currently kills the most mountain lions every year (see stats) – is making it even easier and cheaper for hunters to shoot mountain lions. Non-residents who purchase an elk tag will now be able to also shoot a mountain lion, black bear, or gray wolf… should he happen to come across one. Each lion, bear, or wolf tag costs a whopping (please note the sarcasm) $11.50, and an elk tag – which is now good for lion, bear and wolf – is about $30. The new law changes also note that children may start hunting turkey at age 10. For more information on the state’s hunting rules and regulations, visit the Idaho Fish & Game website.
