I'm only halfway through the video, but I have had an encounter with a mountain lion at Colorado Bend State Park in TX. It tracked us and once we finally saw it and I pulled my gun...it was gone. I did have my dog with me too. The park rangers that evening said they had multiple people spot it and they were going after it to relocate.
My question is....why in the fuck would you put yourself in that situation WITHOUT a gun or at least a fixed blade knife? And WHY isnt he throwing rocks at it? |

I bled like a stuck hog and the ER bill was epic. That little bitch on the vid could easily be lethal to a human. They instinctually know stuff that makes them even more dangerous i guarantee it. The guys life was potentially in peril and everyone should know this. He had good reason to give ground. His instincts were hard at work too. |

You know, if you are in a place where you can't carry a gun when you hike, this would at least be a good place to have one of those walking sticks that you can quickly screw a knife onto the end of if you needed to.
Hey, plenty of cavemen and Indians won their battle with a lion that way, I bet.

Looks like the guy did an "OK" job according to this:
If you see a mountain lion: Stay calm. Hold your ground or back away slowly. Face the lion and stand upright. Do not approach a lion. Never approach a mountain lion, especially one that is feeding or with kittens. Most mountain lions will try to avoid a confrontation. Give them a way to escape. Do not run from a lion. Running may stimulate a mountain lion's instinct to chase. Instead, stand and face the animal. Make eye contact. If you have small children with you, pick them up, if possible, so they don't panic and run. Although it may be awkward, pick them up without bending over or turning away from the mountain lion. Do not crouch down or bend over. Biologists surmise mountain lions don't recognize standing humans as prey. On the other hand, a person squatting or bending over looks a lot like a four-legged prey animal. If you're in mountain lion habitat, avoid squatting, crouching, or bending over, even when picking up children. If the mountain lion moves in your direction or acts aggressively: Do all you can to appear intimidating. Attempt to appear larger by raising your arms and opening your jacket if you are wearing one. Wave your arms slowly and speak firmly in a loud voice. If looking bigger doesn't scare the mountain lion off, without crouching or turning your back, start throwing stones, branches, or whatever you can reach in its direction (e.g., toward it, but not directly at it). Aim for the ground in front of it; don't throw things directly at it just yet. Think of these as warning shots. You aren't wanting to hit and unnecessarily injure the mountain lion, but you do want to show it that you can defend yourself and potentially injure it. And that will hopefully deter it from approaching any closer. With that said, your safety is of the utmost importance and the National Park Service won't necessarily prosecute you for harassment of wildlife if something you throw at an aggressive mountain lion does make contact. Again, during the initial stages of a mountain lion encounter, the idea is to convince the mountain lion that you are not prey and that you may be a danger to it. One might ask: "How do I reach stones or branches without bending down?" If you are in a trailcut, you could get rocks to throw from the side of the trailcut. If you are in a wooded area, you might be able to find a loose branch within reach, or feel free to break branches off of trees or shrubs, if necessary. If you are with others, the shorter/smaller individuals could bend down close behind taller/bigger individuals (make it look as much as possible like you are all one big animal) and provide the taller/bigger individuals with rocks or sticks to throw. However, stones and branches may not always be readily within reach. But you will probably be carrying a backpack or fanny pack containing hard items that can be thrown, like water bottles, and you could retrieve those while remaining upright to use as projectiles. But don't throw everything you have, though. You might want to hold on to one metallic or hard plastic water bottle in reserve to use as a club or as weight in your backpack or fanny pack, which can be swung at the cat if it gets close enough. So, most hikers will have some options, even if they can't bend down to pick up rocks or sticks. SOURCE |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You think an aggravated mountain lion is gonna stop and help dude look for his lost socket? Mountain lions are American. They use SAE tools and they eat SAE tools like the one with the devilish grin. They will not help you find a metric socket. *** Juvenile cat, unsure of itself, unsure of what to do. There is a reason why the incidence rate for people getting toe up by juvenile cats is essentially zero. A little scary, a little fun, shoulda frowed rock sooner. Experience is rare, but people who have it benefit from the ability to recognize when a momma or sibling cat weighs 55 lbs instead of 135. Big diff. If it was a big tom, dude never would have seen it at all. Fun video though. Showed my daughter. Very educational. |

I love all of the “would have been chucking rocks sooner” posters.
It seems to me the guy did exactly what he needed to. He continued to back away, keeping in mind that if he fell or tripped he would have been fucked. Seems to me he waited for the perfect moment to bend down and grab some rocks (keeping in mind that bending down to grab rocks while retreating backwards, uphill, on loose gravel is a great way to wind up on your ass with 90# of pissed off cat sporting a bunch of razor blades in her paws. See previous sentence) I’ll give the ole boy high marks for this one. (Except the part where he started the whole fucking thing by creeping up on baby high country kittehs to get some good gram footage) Having said all that, cat experts: what is the story with that posturing where she is forcing the tip of her tail into the ground, dragging it? |

We have panthers at my house...
They wiped out all the hogs and now go after the livestock and pets. When we see one, we alert others on Facebook community page.. I was going to work a few weeks ago and one hopped out on the road in front of me and went about a 1/4 mile running in front the truck.
