Justin Russel is back to discuss the results of a study he helped conduct where he captured mountain lions, applied gps collars, and then would go back and find each of the cougar’s kill sites to see what they were preying on. The results are fascinating and made even more interesting when wolves showed up in the region. Consider this episode a blueprint to understanding what and where cougars are hunting throughout the year.

Amy got bucked off a horse and broke her neck. She refused surgery, healed through exercise and visualization, then left the high desert of Oregon to college. She was recruited for the rowing team where she quickly became the strongest person on the oar. Then she got in a boat wreck and broke her back. After recovering from that she tried out for National team and despite being rejected by the coach due to her height, she forced her way onto the boat by demonstrating she could pull harder than anyone else in the country. That pulled that oar all the way to the Sydney Olympics. Since then she’s travelled the world adventuring and hunting. She now runs Branded Rock Canyon, a premier lodge, hunting destination and shooting facility. You want a legendary story? Thoughtful insight into wildlife conservation? Check out this episode with Amy Shaffer and Rob Gearing from Spartan Precision.
