Cougars are really relentless and difficult to fight off - though usually they pounce in bars rather than ski resorts.

I find just telling them I'm divorced, and broke, works to keep them away.

perhaps- the material might be such that it rips in a clean line- some material does that- but yeah- i think the slices looked too clean- you woudl likely see more ragged thread- the one slice looked like just that- a knife slice-

That’s exactly how I identify animal tracks in the wild - look to see what sort of animal is standing in them.

I was attacked by a wild cougar once. It was in a locals casino here in Vegas. It had blue hair and looked starved. The casino didn’t offer any help though.

Next time ask to speak to Ace Rothstein. He doesn’t like any trouble, and will put an end to it quickly.

An impending attack by a large dog caused me to ready my large pipe wrench as a weapon. While not a mountain lion, a ferocious dog can do damage.

My mind became completely focused, time seemed to stand still, I knew I would only get one shot at this, so I readied myself for the perfect swing that would KILL the dog (and I am a dog lover), not scare him away.

At the last second, the dog owner saw what was about to happen and called/whistled (I can’t remember which) and the dog stopped dead in his tracks and ran home.

Again, not a mountain lion, but I can understand EXACTLY the mental process he went through.

Sort of like that guy protecting his dog by punching the kangaroo. It didn’t see THAT coming.

Quick reaction times saved this guy’s life. He’s tough and probably a good athlete.

The snow boarder would not have had time to pull a gun. He must have had his board in his hands when the cat pounced. I wonder if the snow boarder was a baseball player.

You usually don’t see cougars at ski resorts, they tend to hang around bars.
