Make yourself “large" by waving your arms above your head, speak loudly, and throw objects, such as rocks or sticks, in the mountain lion's direction, while avoid bending down or crouching . If attacked, always fight back.

Rocks do not grow on trees, so how do you obtain rocks without bending over.
Just bend way over and kiss it goodbye.

My veterinarian had been involved with one from a zoo, he said you would not stand a chance.

What do they expect the animals to do when Antifa/BLM set fires everywhere last fall?

Watch out for those cougars; don’t buy them drinks and for God’s sake don’t take them home with you (though their place might be okay).

I suppose the fires in that area have taken their toll on the wildlife, so food may be more scarce

Brass knuckles from the local pawn shop. Pocket knife. Switch blade knife. Keep in pocket just in case. Keep alert when taking out the garbage. Boulder is even closer to the mountains. Lots of 80 pound dogs in Boulder. Baseball bats are not just for summer in the park. A person should carry a machine gun at all times, yet the government would probably frown on such a procedure. Brass knuckles are easily found.

I was stalked and nearly attacked by a pair of mountain lions 26 years ago this month (likely a mother and almost full grown cub). Scary. I once touched the claws of dead lion on display and they are needle sharp. They could rake you to pieces.

FWIW, we have a “Resident Queen” on our family farm in Northeast Texas.
(Fwiw, the State Biologists of TPWD state that, “- - - -unless she is driven away by human activity OR there is a natural/manmade disaster that destroys the local environment or wipes out food sources, a female puma will be born, live out her life & die within 5 miles of where she was birthed.”)

Our family sees her quite often & she bothers NOBODY & NOTHING whatever. = Our farm has plenty of rodents, rabbits & other similar/good things for her to hunt & eat.
(Our family’s DVM has seen her several times & guesses that she weighs 80-100 pounds & “appears to be healthy & well-nourished”.)

Yours, ex-cadet

It’s almost always the adolescents or the super hungry cats that wander into town. They grab dogs and cats out of yards and patios. The large adults stay at higher altitude away from people.

In the “vicinity” of the “area.” Great headline.
