Smith, who was unarmed, then saw the big cat about 25 yards away.

Dumb move.

... purchase a mountain lion hunting license.

Smart move.

Hope he wasn’t planning on eating the deer. Leaving it that long ruins the meat.

I hear that mountain lion is actually pretty good.

He backed away slowly and went to call the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. Officials said he had two choices — return with friends, making noise to scare the animal away, or purchase a mountain lion hunting license.

He opted for the license, and dropped the lion in one shot.

I like stories with happy endings.

Bears will cover their kill (or their find) in the same way. I know of an Indian woman in Alberta who was attacked by a bear. She played dead and the bear covered her up and left her. After the bear left she got up and went home.

We used to regularly leave deer overnight if we shot them late in the evening. Gut them, prop the carcass up off of the ground and prop the body cavity open with some sticks. You have to understand the overnite temperature there was probably in the teens if not single digits. When elk hunting it was nothing for us to get our elk the first day, quarter them and hang them away from camp (bear) and higher than the bears could reach and then stay in the mountains for another five or six days. Take the elk down, haul it to the processing plant to be cut a frozen. It was very well aged and extremely tender.

We heard the story from her husband. He was our Indian guide on a bear hunt in Alberta Canada. He said she was badly mauled and her wounds took years to completely heal. As soon as she was able, she moved from their home deep in the woods, to town. Can’t say I blame her, her story gave me chills as we were deep in bear country when I heard it.

“I hear that mountain lion is actually pretty good.”

Not as tender as spotted owl, tastes a bit like manatee.

I think that’s the question. Did he dress it and leave to haul it out later, or did he just leave it where it fell?
