Wildlife should benefit from wildlife management w/David Neils

Today’s guest, David Neils, has been tracking wildlife since he was six years old, growing up in the remote forests of Libby, Montana. What started as a deep curiosity about the hidden lives of wild animals has grown into a lifelong commitment to understanding and tracking apex carnivores, especially mountain lions. After a close encounter with a male lion in Colorado’s Never Summer Wilderness, David dedicated himself to studying this elusive species. Over the past twenty years, he’s spent countless hours in mountain lion habitat, developing a system to accurately map their activity across the western United States, Canada, and Chile. He now offers one-on-one Mountain Lion Workshops for those interested in applying what he’s learned from over 30,000 hours in the field. Through Wild Nature Media, David captures stunning, completely wild footage—no lures, no dogs, no helicopters, no tricks—just raw, unscripted moments that celebrate the wild we crave.
