The recent cougar sightings in Cache Creek have brought about numerous groups in the Jackson Hole community to express their concerns and opinions. Craighead Beringia South believes this is a great opportunity for the community to evaluate our willingness to educate ourselves and engage in discussions about the issues surrounding cougar management. We support management decisions based on scientific literature and research. Please read this letter from Craighead Beringia South for more info.

* Update: Friday, February 3rd the mother mountain lion and what turned out to be 3 kittens were released in an undisclosed location between Lander and Rawlins according to an article in the Billings Gazette.
