NOVEMBER MEETING HIGHLIGHTS:
NDGFD BIOLOGIST STEPHANIE TUCKER GAVE A FANTASTIC PRESENETATION ON ND MOUNTAIN LIONS. GREAT INFO ON THEIR HABITS, HABITAT, TRACKS AND REPRODUCTION. SHE STRESSED THAT THE DEPARTMENT NEEDS VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE TO INVESTIGATE A SIGHTING (ie: PHOTO, TRACKS OR SCAT) AND IF YOU HAVE THAT; BY ALL MEANS CONTACT THEM! LIONS ARE LARGE CATS SO BE AWARE OF PERSPECTIVE (a house cat can look like one in short grass). SHE EVEN GAVE US A QUIZ AT THE END.
