When you live in Jackson and there’s a mountain lion with a kill by the gas station

It's no secret why this cat is lurking in the trees. Trevor noted that it has a carcass in the treeline below that it's keeping track of. The mountain lion isn't stupid and knows better than to venture down with a whole herd of humans nearby. In his video, the mountain lion never leaves its perch. Once darkness set in, maybe a different story.

For what it's worth, Trevor is an interesting follow on YouTube as he is quite the adventurer. He reminds me of what I would imagine would happen if Keanu Reeves were to ever decide he wanted to be a photographer and I mean that in a good way. Whoa.
