lions home range

[R Severe]

I've not had time to get over where Teds working now. The outfits got me working the other direction. Teds about as much fun to hunt with as you can have
They are in the last year on the study by Troy but if things work right he will only have time to gas his truck before a better deal starts. Can't tell you what untill a few more things fall into place.

Ever since I've hunted cats I've thought the dream deal would be to winter in at Reds Horse Ranch with a pack of good dogs. Other than wading that cold river, it would be heaven.

KM is still working this county. I've not heard when he plans on hanging it up.

I though I might add something to this post that I read the other day on wikipedia--It gives a pretty broad information about lion ranges, but that may be because the answer is pretty broad--I know scientific info isn't as valuable, but here it is anyway:

"Canadian Geographic reports large male territories of 150 to 1000 square kilometers (58 to 386 sq mi) with female ranges half the size.[23]
Other research suggests a much smaller lower limit of 25 km² (10 sq mi) but an even greater upper limit of 1300 km² (500 sq mi) for males.[27] In the United States, very large ranges have been reported in Texas and the Black Hills of the northern Great Plains, in excess of 775 km² (300 sq mi).[31]
Home range sizes and overall cougar abundance depend on terrain, vegetation, and prey abundance.[27] One female adjacent to the San Andres Mountains, for instance, was found with a large range of 215 km² (83 sq mi), necessitated by poor prey abundance.[29] Research has shown cougar abundances from 0.5 animals to as much as 7 (in one study in South America) per 100 km² (38 sq mi).[16]"
