3 Lion Image

[Ogier Dudley]

Theeastern Pacific is a sea lion stronghold, with famous dives in British Columbia, California, Galapagos, Mexico and more. The species and water temperatures vary, but the photographic challenge remains the same: capturing elegant pictures of dark, fastmoving subjects in water that is usually gloomy.

Trail cameras are an outdoor enthusiast's best friend. Most are used by deer hunters but turkey hunters and trappers also use them. They can monitor an area 24/7 and provide valuable information as to the size and frequency of deer using a particular area or what furbearers are passing through.

They're often set on trails, scrapes or bait piles to get pictures before and during a particular season. While most pictures are of deer or expected animals, every once in a while something else shows up. Such was the case recently as two trail cams captured images of not-so-common critters in our state.

The first trail cam added another chapter to a decades-old on-going saga: Does Kansas have mountain lions or not? That question has been sufficiently answered with three confirmed cougars within our confines in the last three years. And a trail camera in Republic County snapped a few photos last week of yet another big cat.

"I bought my first trail camera two years ago," said 25-year-old Courtland resident and deer hunter Caleb Mahin. "I've got two now and I basically use them for scouting and I like to see what is out there."

His camera was on a spot on family land and he picked up the camera last Sunday evening but hunted a different spot. It wasn't until after he got home that he checked the images. He had a hard time believing what he was seeing when the first photo popped up.

"I first looked and looked again, and I yelled to one of my roommates to have him come down and make sure of what I thought I was seeing," he said with a laugh. "It snapped like nine pictures right in a row and it really did look like a mountain lion."

Steve Titus, 36, who lives near Reserve, got a great trail camera photo last week. With the help of his 3-year-old daughter, he put out some food scraps at the edge of a field to see if they could get some photos of furbearers prior to the upcoming trapping season.

Titus surmises it might be a young bull looking for cows during their rut and wandered far off course. That's a logical explanation and not the first time elk have been encountered in places where elk aren't normally seen.

Exercise Platinum Lion is a battalion-level event designed to provide quality, organized and realistic training for designated military units from the United States, United Kingdom and Bulgaria. The exercise reinforces relationships in a combined training environment, builds understanding of partner nation tactics, techniques and procedures and increases interoperability with these NATO Allies and partner forces.

Normally a big cat like that will attack a smaller human if it can jump you from behind. Then it tries to bite on on the back of the neck. So, wear a football helmet and football shoulder pads so that it can't get a good bite.

For most animals of this nature, the standard bait is canned cat foot, covered by a thin layer of lard or grease to keep it from drying out too quickly. I would try to leave it about two feet high on a tree. That way, the smaller animals can't get to it.

We have friends who live on a rural lake and there were kitty sightings in the area. They had goats too, which is like a Denny's sign on the interstate for a big cat. They go to the mailbox with a big dog and a 12 gauge. There are black bears too.

Hi Nico,

I use "trail cameras" which are triggered by motion and changes in temperature. Depending on the camera you can have it more sensitive ( but will get every little bird in there) or less sensitive. Some can do video. My nicest one, the one I used here, only takes pictures and does have a slight red light when it captures, but it's speed and recovery time are great. Another camera is completely covert when it shoots, but it has a much slower recovery rate between shots.

I have seen this cat before but never even came close to having enough time to take a picture, nor was I anything like this close.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a wireless link inside that could transmit those images over to your house? You could just sit at home and see what was happening. There are some like that, but the wireless range is pretty limited.

I get scared from Mountain Lions, like the time I saw tracks on top of mine. It was following my tracks, so it must have been aware of me. I camped near by that next night and was a bit freaked. But not enough to go someplace else : )

Or the time the fire was dieing down and I was about to go to sleep, and then I saw two pairs of eyes go by in the dark 100 yards away. I don't know what type of creatures they were, maybe Coyote or Mountain Lions, or Deer? I threw on some logs, and after a while I got tired and just went to sleep anyway.

"Wouldn't it be nice if there was a wireless link inside that could transmit those images over to your house? You could just sit at home and see what was happening. There are some like that, but the wireless range is pretty limited."

One model will send the image wirelessly to a controller that is up to 500 feet away. Then you get the image file from the controller. The purpose behind that is that your valuable images do not exist at the trail camera, so there is little point in a thief trying to steal the camera, and they don't know exactly where the controller is hidden.

Kat will probably need to bury a high-capacity fiber optic cable down her driveway and along the road so that she call haul all of the images back to her place. A year from now we will be paying annual memberships to view her wildlife shots.

I feel privileged to have seen two in 30 years of tramping around these mountains. Ironically, one of those sightings was in our back yard, about 20 feet from my office window. I don't worry about mountain lions. I worry a lot more about human attacks than wildlife attacks.

Lion images are the most sought after in the world. Everything from Lion HD wallpapers, to lion cartoons to lion paintings and so on are available en-masse out there, but I always found that no one really captured something that intrigued me. This was my motivation to take a trip to Namibia and see what I could do. Up until this point I was a fashion and stock Photographer working mostly with models and a crew. i was quickly introduced to the world of the lazy lions and how they differ to an eager Model.

When I returned home I decided to show this image to a good friend of mine who just so happens to own his own gallery, be an art collector and be a photographer himself. I arranged a meeting with Martin Osner. We did a test print and in that moment we both new something was here. Something different in the Wildlife Fine Art World.

Many fantastic photographers already had a unique style, and now so did I. Martin told me that if i returned with more images like this he would grant me a solo exhibition. Well as they say the rest is history and to this day my work is available to see and buy at the Martin Osner gallery in Cape Town.

Lions are heavy, muscular cats. They have a sturdy head and neck with round ears. Of all the cats its the most famous, well recognised and idolised (expect for maybe the Tiger in India). Lion males are larger than females weighing about 150 to 250 kg. Females are 120 to 182 kg and usually hunt in groups. Their prey varies widely depending on where they are and what situation they find themselves in. Most of the time they will hunt antelope, but are known to take down bigger prey such as buffalo, hippos and even (but rarely) an elephant.

Below are a collection of my open edition prints. Because there is no limit to the number of prints the prices are lower and these images can be used in other applications such as bags and pillows for example.
