Years ago, I sold a sheep image to a nature group and they put it on a post card. For a caption, they stated that these animals live on rocky slopes in places that protected them from predators. I laughed so hard I bout had to change my pants, cause the good lord never made a sheep that could climb around in the places a mountain lion lives.

This fall I found several dead Rocky Mountain goats while trailing a lion, and one of those goats was a lion kill. Anybody that believes sheep or goat doesn't live in prime lion country doesn't know much about sheep, goats or lions.

I got those sheep and lion pictures through an email awhile back and all I'll say is that photographer was alot luckier than I've ever been.........

I am with Dennis on this. I have trod the the high spots, and before the big snow comes on this is the lion and eagles play pen. Don't blame them that's the way it is. I love the mountain sheep and revere the the mountain billy. Long may they live and prosper. But as old Lobo Outfitter Dick Ray a real pro lion hunter and student of nature said long ago. The lion takes no back seats to anything out there he surveys his country, dominates or kills all natural obstacles. H e truely epitomizes all things wild in North America. He kills the mighty bull elk, the giant mule deer, and no bear crosses the dominant tom lion. He is the most spectacular of North American trophies but seldom seen without the aid of a professional.

A way up high on a wind whipped bluff a mountain a lion stand alone.
A mountain billy killed and cached and a rock bluff for his home

He is lord and master of what he sees and the cold rocks hide his trail
As the darkness falls, and the sleet pelts down, and the wind above him wails.

Dang Mike, thats pretty good stuff

Someone had a whole series of those same sheep pictures, can't remember where I seen them.
I have a copy of a Montana wildlife magazine that has a photo series of a lion killing a goat at a saltlick, she had a couple piled up at the lick if I remember right.
