I have always wanted to read Steve Matthes's "BRAVE and Other Stories" about hunting mountain lions (with dogs) in the 1940s-50s but haven't because it runs around $400. Due for a reprint? I imagine a Misfit or 2 has a copy.
Fun fact: mountain lions are big small cats (g. Felis) and not true big cats (g. Panthera.) They can purr, but not roar.
We have been getting more (although not many) jaguars coming back into southern Arizona over the last couple of decades. They range for 100s of miles. Rancher treed one near Douglas back when I was a kid.
