How did they know the cougars they shot were one of the cats that killed the woman. Seems trapping and removal would be a better call. I guess it's like they sent out a warning to other cougars in the area. FAFO.

Old friend of mine from Montana was a big bow hunter. Told me about a time he was stalked by one for two hours. Never could get a shot, and it was the most unnerving thing he's ever experineced. Said it was like a horror movie.
How did he end up losing the cat? Was he able to scare it away despite not seeing it?

Thank God you clarified.
It was admittedly a little ambiguous.

Pretty sure that isn’t how I’ll go, but you never know…
I think id choose fight to the death with an vicious animal as way to go over many other ways to go. I might would die by that animal will regret it. It will be missing an eye and/or genitals when all is said and done

Same reason I carry. I may get shot, I may die, but I won’t be the only one bleeding, lol…

I moved out to 10 acres in rural western Colorado for a couple of months this past year. Hiked straight through my backyard up to the top of Black Canyon mountains. Was about 4 miles each way I think, I carried a machete in my hand the entire way. Never saw another person the entire time, just me and my dog. I’m a 25 yo man in good shape but I said I give myself a decent shot with a weapon, I don’t like my chances with my fists. I was on edge, adrenaline pumping almost the whole time looking out for a mountain lion, found some big scat that I thought was too far into the trail to have been dog shite. Nature is terrifying when you’re that far removed from civilization, every rock and crevice looks like a spot a mountain lion could be hiding.

Mountain lions rarely attack humans. Wonder what happened here
She probably saw it and turned her back to it to get a selfie for TikTok.

Update on the Glen Haven fatal mountain lion attack.
We’ve learned since the confirmed, fatal mountain lion attack of a 46 year old Fort Collins woman that it’s believed by CPW the attack was carried out by a group of lions that have been killing pets in Glen Haven and have shown to have no fear of humans.
Originally this group consisted of a female with 3 juvenile offspring (likely the same female we photographed in Estes Park that had 4 cubs originally but only 3 survived to juvenile age). Some weeks ago, the female was killed while attacking a dog in Glen Haven leaving the 3 juveniles to hunt on their own. The need to be fully self-reliant for their food combined with their learned behavior of being comfortable with and seeking food near humans likely combined to drive the very abnormal behavior of targeting and killing a person. Once a predator begins to think of humans as food they will always think of humans as food and for public safety the animals must be killed. This should dispel the notion that CPW was shooting every lion in the area they could find. They were looking specifically for three juvenile lions from this group and to date they’ve only found and killed two of the three - one of which tested positive for human DNA (the other tested negative).
Once again, our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the woman who lost her life in this rare and tragic incident. For their sake, please be considerate what you write in the comments.
PS. There are approximately 5,000 mountain lions in Colorado. A robust and growing population. They are prolific in quantity and distribution and in no way an endangered or threatened species.
