S02E02 The Fair Chase: Arizona Mountain Lion

In the rugged landscapes of America's desert Southwest, filled with cacti, vast canyons, and majestic big cats, Steven sets out to uncover the truth behind one of the most contentious practices in hunting—tracking lions with dogs until they are cornered on a cliff or in a tree. Guided by two seasoned lion hunters, he dives into a hunting style that is completely foreign to him. The experience proves to be both physically demanding and emotionally challenging. While sometimes the hunt yields a satisfying meal and exhilarating success, other times it offers deeper lessons about knowledge and humility.
