I have read of some cougar attacks in Readers Digest (yeah, I know, real reliable source but...) It seems as though they are losing their fear of humans and have been attacking people who are out biking or jogging on trails. I wouldn't feel safe with one around.

Speaking of mountain lions. Mrs. Narby and I did some hiking east of Roosevelt Lake in AZ a few years ago. After a day of hiking, both of us compared notes on the trip home and deciced that we both suspected we were "followed" up and down the trail. The weird thing was a neighbor who had hiked the same area separately said the same thing.

I really don't believe in the supernatural, but after that hike I could have been persuaded. I'm sure it was because of the unknown "signs" on the trail, but whatever, it was weird.

Most often on jogging trails. They tend to stalk people then when they bend down to tie their shoes, land on their backs.

Goes back to animal behavior. They generally dine on deer,and deer have a flat back with an upright neck. With humans the lion often will circle, looking for the flat back (which there is none). But bend down to tie your shoes, and bingo!

I don't feel safe with those trails around, either. Stinkin' joggers and bikers think they own the planet.

Wait ...
