Quoted: Wow It sucks about his dog, but imagine having a video of yourself standing with your foot on the neck of the cougar you just killed with a machete View Quote That is literally where you throw your head back and do the Tarzan yell. Exactly like that with your foot on the carcass. That is exactly how it would go down in the books except Tarzan would stab them multiple times like that. lol |

I'm torn on this one.
Cougar doing cougar things and this guy had his dog off a leash and not close to him. However, the dog is his property and the cougar attacked it. The whole thing is an unhappy situation. |

Quoted: I had something like this a few days before Christmas in 2017 except with a smaller wildcat, I was the target and not a dog, and I had a tomahawk, not a machete. https://i.imgur.com/VHGxjcE.jpg (A lot of the red stuff is also mine) That was a very strange day, and the $13,000 hospital bill made me very thankful for insurance. The tomahawk worked, but if I could go back I'd have had a gun on me 11 times out of 10. I spiked the fucking cat through the skull four times including burying it in its eye clear up to the shaft and the fucking thing just yelled at me and kept attacking like it was the fucking exorcist and didn't need a brain to keep fighting. Flipped it around and swung with every ounce of strength I had with the axe blade to its forehead over and over while it was literally trying to take my left hand off and was clawing my forearm. Tenth blow it suddenly went into slow motion, eleventh blow cracked its skull open and dumped blood all over the place and the fight was over. I had a one-handed Christmas that year (thankfully everything healed up back to 100%). Got the rabies vaccine just in case, but the tests came back negative. Goddamn cat was just a savage monster.

They make ceremonial HUGE kukris specifically for the purpose of beheading cattle. These aren't your usual 12" - 15" bladed kukris. They're basically kukri shaped swords.

I've seen ceremonial kukris that were even bigger than that one. I don't doubt they could behead a 2000lb bull in the right hands. |

Dude in truck should have grabbed a tire iron and helped beat that dog biting cunt of
a cat instead of filming like a little girl |

I'm pretty sure he did his own dog in while swinging, but can't blame him for trying. That pup was gone if he didn't at least try. If your dog is going to be out in the wild, it either needs to protect itself or you have to accept these things happen. I'd have let my dog handle that little cat, but different breed and all. Sad all around.

I think it might have been. Not very familiar with cats and I was too busy tending my wounds afterwards to inspect it. Didn't get a great look before it attacked because I didn't see it coming and it jumped me, and afterwards it was a bloody cleaved mess and was gone by the time I got discharged from the hospital. I just know it was large (but not full-grown mountain lion large), black, and strong as fuck.

Spike was blunted and there were a couple small chips out of the edge from impacting brick and concrete with missed swings. Sent it back with a note "Watch out for those cats!!" |

Quoted: Cougars belong in the wild woods, domesticated dogs do not. One thing I like about the national parks is nobody can bring their dogs on the trail. I don't hate dogs, but I value the wildlife more than the need for a canine companion in the woods. Unless you're mushing. Then you're just badass. View Quote Wut? Keatonjerkingoff.gif |

Good save! This is why you always carry, always! Could have gone very differently!

My 1970s Jap machete is razor sharp and would have sliced right through that cat like butter.
ETA- of course my Glock would have blown holes in its face also Poor pup |

The cougar is getting hacked and yet it still held its grip on the dog.
Reminds of the Snow Leopard vid where it attacked a sheep/ram and went off a cliff and went tumbling down the mountain and never let go until the end. |

I’m betting that guy really wished he was carrying a pistol and could have smoked that cat a lot quicker than hacking on it for 20 seconds.
Dude is a badass though and did what he could to save his dog. |

If this thing hadn't attacked this guy's dog, it would have ended up attacking a person, possibly even a child. In either case the outcome could have been worse. |

This is the reason why I will never go into the wilderness without a firearm. And I tell my brother every time he does and doesn't go armed he's an idiot for doing it.

Fuck that cat!
There is hardly a more heart wrenching sound than a dog writhing in pain. Poor doggie. |

Cool video, Dude did what needed to be done
There’s still more dogs and more wild cats out there Itll be ok |

Nice hack. Dude in the truck sounds like the type that would try to hand feed the cougar.

Yikes. Shame the dog didn't make it, but pretty badass taking a blade to an apex hunter in its environment.
