    Trail Runner Kills Mtn. Lion With His Bare Hands

    Woa! Killed a lion with his bare hands! What a stud! A good reminder to always be aware of your surroundings (i.e. leave the earbuds at home so you can HEAR also).

    I hope he does something with the fur for bragging rights

    DNR will take the fur, the runner will never see it. But I agree, he should get it and it should be a good fur as it's in its winter coat.

    FWIW - Last time I hunted cougars a good skin was bringing over $3000 before tanning.

    It was a starving juvenile cat. If it was a full grown healthy adult the outcome would have been drastically different.
    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

    Back in the day I was chased by a cougar more then once... but they can't run very fast in high heels.

    Yup, BTDT, but I chose to run very slowly. nay walk-fast to ensure they caught me!

    Now, as it relates to this story, I've had many, many encounters will full grown cats and I'm here to tell you, when I'm in an area where I know mountain-lions exist, even if just snow-shoeing, I will bring my .45. Used it once, pretty sure that cat died somewhere up the mountain from Circleville, Utah. I've had enough encounters with big cats that I can feel them well before I hear or see them.. they are stealthy and will follow you quite some ways before they decide you're on-the-menu..

    Hiked a mile or so up a fresh snow covered track while deeer hunting a few years ago. It started snowing hard enough that I bagged it and headed back down. There was a set of cat tracks in my tracks for a long way. Creeped me out for the whole way down... how close was it?
