I was about to ask if this guy was a serial mountain lion murderer, but I think it was posted on the OB first

quote:

Do not approach a lion, especially one that is feeding or with kittens. Most mountain lions will try to avoid a confrontation. Give them a way to escape. Stay calm when you come upon a lion.

Talk calmly and firmly to it. Move slowly and never turn your back on it. Stop or back away slowly, if you can do it safely. Running may stimulate a lion's instinct to chase and attack. Face the lion and stand upright.

Do all you can to appear larger. Raise your arms. Open your jacket if you're wearing one. If you have small children with you, protect them by picking them up so they won't panic and run. If the lion behaves aggressively, throw stones, branches or whatever you can get your hands on without crouching down or turning your back.

Wave your arms slowly and speak firmly. What you want to do is convince the lion you are not prey and that you may in fact be a danger to the lion. Fight back if a lion attacks you. Lions have been driven away by prey that fights back.

People have fought back with rocks, sticks, caps or jackets, garden tools and their bare hands successfully. CPW recommends targeting the eyes and nose as these are sensitive areas. Remain standing or try to get back up.


While I certainly appreciate the advice in the article, I have to question “talk calmly and firmly”.

How the hell those things called get called “mountain lions”? They look more of a cougar than a lion. A nice kill but no man can kill a real lion no matter if he came from Colorado or any other states.

I can't believe that anyone running a mountain trail in Colorado would be out there with out bear spray. When I went fly fishing there, always had a canister at the ready as well as my 1911 cocked and locked.

After the attack, the runner was able to hike out to safety and drove himself to a hospital, CPW said. His injuries were described as serious but not life-threatening. Wildlife officers returned to the area and found the animal's body "within feet of several possessions that the victim asked the officers to look for on the trail," according to CPW.



Sounds like he dropped his sandwich and cell phone during the attack.

I'm guessing if you search there is a thread talking about if a human could kill a mountain lion with their bear hands. This guy was probably one on the .5% that said yes. He proved all us bitches wrong.
