I had cougars chase me when I was younger. I just left the lido deck and it was all good.

That's why I carry a gun on such hikes.
I can aim it better than my cell phone anyway....

Dude, pick up a couple of big rocks and use them. Rock beats scissors cougar.

If you hike in the mountains south of Pocatello, ID, carry a sidearm. A 44mag is recommended. Cougars and black bears are part of the abundant wildlife. If you are out by Soda Springs, add grizzly bears to the list.

Throwing a rock sooner works for me.

Dude, pick up a couple of big rocks and use them. Too busy video recording the encounter to defend himself.
Soy boi alert!

Per comments on this video elsewhere-
A mama cat with kits nearby. Just chasing him off. If she wanted him dead it would have happened.

The trouble with picking up rocks is you have to bend down. The moment you do that, you look a lot smaller and that’s when they will attack (so I’ve read).
I haven’t tested that hypothesis, though. When I’m hiking in cougar territory I carry a big club or rocks. Pick them up before you need them. I think most people are unprepared for the ferocity and violence of a big cat attack and sticks and rocks may be useless. They also hit you hard and try to snap your neck, so you don’t have time to use them.

I think that cat should have taken him down just to shut him up.

A couple local hunters hiking up Scout Mountain attracted a cougar when one stopped to pee on a tree. It stalked them for 5 miles back to the parking lot at the trail head.

If a cougar meant to attack him, he would never have known until it was on him.

Yes!

Doesn't compare to being chased by the Cougar Dan Gurney drove

...(he) believes the cougar was trying to protect her cubs.
Well, you can believe anything. Believe the cat was just wanting to have a conversation with you.

A tiger was loose in Houston, TX last weekend.
