Collaring Mountain Lions
By Jerry Kane
Nebraska Game and Parks Commission field staff have begun efforts to capture
and collar mountain lions.
This effort is the beginning of a four-year research project.
Game and Parks plans to place GPS tracking collars on seven to 15 mountain
lions captured in the Pine Ridge, Wildcat Hills, Niobrara River Valley and
elsewhere across the state.
Anyone who observes or captures an image of a lion on a trail camera should
call Game and Parks immediately at 402-471-0641. Timely reports from the
public will assist in locating animals for this project and help biologists learn
more about this elusive species.

Kamik, a Montreal-based
footwear company, has
come out with American-
made neoprene boots
known as the Elements
Collection you should try.
One model of boots, the
Coldcreek, is lightweight
and comfortable for even
long-walking distances.
The base provides great
durability and traction
while the waterproof upper
provides flexibility. – RG
The Huntsman (pictured)
is now my go-to winter
walking boot for sledding,
upland bird hunting and
ice fishing. Their rubber-
patented bottoms keep my
feet dry and I trust their
durability near barbed wire
and crampons. The last
pair of rubber boots I had
split by the end of hunting
season, but this boot is just
hitting its stride with twice
as much wear. – JK
