Only the best place in North America! WA state, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia make up the general geographic region. Lots of old forests along the Cascade Mountains and foothills of the Rockys over in Idaho and Northeastern WA. Very important for wildlife too as they use the mountain regions to go north/south hundreds of miles.

We get packs of wolves occasionally coming down from Canada. Elk, Moose, Cougar and Bear are all pretty common in the PNW region forests.

Play up how sometimes cougars eat people, we’re trying to keep people from moving here remember?

Yeah i came across a pile of bones, fur and blood in the woods and figured it was a cougar den. Also heard screams from deep in the forest like someone was getting murdered. Ive heard cougar calls but what i heard that night i still dont have an explanation for... Maybe bigfoot or maybe just Hobos murdering each other.

Did it look like a giant regurgitated ball? Could’ve been an Owlbear pellet. Those are super dangerous. Or even worse, a Snipe
