After making her last kill (an elk calf) LF1 has moved quite long distance in almost a semi-circle. She is now further north and west than she has been at anytime since she was collared. The last 6 locations are nearly on top of each other. In southern New Mexico, cougar's exhibit a peak in reproduction around August and September. There seems to be a steady build up with successively higher numbers of litters in June and then July. It is unusual for a healthy wild female cougar to go for very long without cubs. As we near the peak season for cubs, we are increasingly expectant that we will find LF1 with a litter.
