I caught this mountain lion marking its territory in Eaton Canyon.

Awesome! I think you said you saw some animal sign in the area you placed the cam. Think you actually saw stuff left by this cat? You thought it was bear sign, I think.

I saw unclear prints which I figured for the bear due to size and depth, and poop which I also figured for the bear due to size and consistency. I'm certain there are several bear piles in that vicinity, and yesterday I found a very fresh one. If I had placed my camera on a different route, I would have gotten the bear and probably not the cat. To be clear, I did not expect to video a lion. I had not noticed any signs of him there.
